Chelsea forward Kai Havertz ruled out of FA Cup final through injury

Kai Havertz ruled out of FA Cup final through injury

Kai Havertz has not been named in the Chelsea squad for the FA Cup final with Liverpool due to injury.

Having gone five starts without finding the back of the net, Havertz has dropped down to the substitutes' bench for the last two games, witnessing Romelu Lukaku take full advantage of his opportunity.

The Belgian has netted three goals against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leeds United respectively, subsequently earning himself a start versus Liverpool at Wembley Stadium.

However, Havertz was a notable absentee from the list of replacements, the Germany international not being mentioned as an injury doubt by Thomas Tuchel during Friday's press confernece.

According to Sky Sports News reporter Paul Gilmour, Havertz has been left out due to issues with his hamstring.

As it stands, it is unclear how long the 22-year-old will be sidelined for, but Chelsea still have to play Leicester City and Watford on the final week of the season.
