Chelsea benefit from the return of several key players from injury in the FA Cup final.

Chelsea are set to return to Wembley Stadium on Saturday to face Manchester City in the FA Cup final. Ahead of the match, interim manager Callum McFarlane brought good news at the Cobham training ground.

According to McFarlane, five key players, including Reece James and Levi Colwell, have resumed training and are expected to play in the final. The return of captain James and center-back Colwell is crucial for Chelsea's defense.

James regained his rhythm as a substitute against Liverpool, and McFarlane was very pleased with him: "Reece trained very well this week, and he performed brilliantly after coming on against Liverpool. We really hope he can finish the season in this form."

Colwell also displayed amazing form after a six-month absence due to injury. McFarlane commented: "Liwai's performance against Liverpool was outstanding. To put on such a performance in such a difficult away game after being out for so long speaks volumes about his ability."

In addition to the defense, attacking talents Pedro Neto and Alejandro Ganacho, who had missed the previous two Premier League games, also received good news. McFarlane said: "Pedro Neto and Alejandro Ganacho have both looked to be in excellent form this week, and we have high hopes for them."

In addition, goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, who suffered a head injury earlier this month, has returned to training, which McFarlane is very positive about and expects to be available on Saturday.

Chelsea last won the FA Cup in 2018, and this is the first time in the club's history that they have faced Manchester City in the FA Cup final. For Chelsea, currently facing challenges, the return of these key players is undoubtedly a crucial factor in their pursuit of the only trophy of the season.
