Willian blocks Conte out of FA Cup picture

Chelsea winger Willian has raised further questions over his relationship with manager Antonio Conte by blocking the Italian out of a picture from the club's FA Cup celebrations at Wembley on Saturday.

The Blues beat Manchester United 1-0 to ensure that an otherwise disappointing season ended with silverware, although numerous reports have suggested that it will be Conte's final match in charge of the club.

Willian has been in and out of the Chelsea team under Conte, making only 20 Premier League starts during the 2017-18 campaign, and he hinted that his relationship with the manager has broken down earlier this week.

When asked how he got on with the Italian, Willian told ESPN Brasil: "Oh boy. Do you really want me to tell you? Let's save it for the next interview."

The Brazil international has now added more fuel to the fire by blocking his manager out of a celebratory picture from the FA Cup final, using trophy emojis to obscure Conte from vision in an Instagram story.

Willian, who was only brought on in stoppage time of the FA Cup final, has been linked with a move to United in recent weeks.
