Chelsea boss Antonio Conte coy over FA Cup final selection

Conte coy over FA Cup final selection

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has decided against revealing who may feature in his starting lineup for the FA Cup final with Manchester United.

Conte has stated that Emerson Palmieri will play no part in the showdown at Wembley Stadium, but the Italian faces a number of selection dilemmas all over the pitch.

Willy Caballero has featured in goal for Chelsea throughout the competition, but Conte refused to say whether the Argentine would continue between the sticks against Jose Mourinho's team.

At a press conference, the 48-year-old told reporters: "I don't want to give you the starting XI. Tomorrow you will see, but we have only Emerson out, and then no news. No news about injury situation."

Chelsea are looking to avoid a second successive defeat in the final after losing to Arsenal 12 months ago.
