Chelsea caretaker manager Calum McFarlane said he is "very hopeful" that injured wingers Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho will be available for next weekend's FA Cup final.

Both players missed Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Liverpool, with McFarlane providing updates on their fitness status ahead of the cup final. The absence of the two wingers was notable as Chelsea managed to secure a point at Liverpool despite being without key attacking options.

McFarlane expressed satisfaction with his team's performance level and result against Liverpool, indicating the squad's resilience in dealing with injury absences. The caretaker boss also offered praise for defender Levi Colwill during his post-match assessment.

The FA Cup final represents a significant opportunity for Chelsea to claim silverware this season. McFarlane's comments suggest the club's medical staff is working to ensure maximum squad availability for the showpiece event.

Chelsea will be looking to have their strongest possible lineup available as they prepare for what could be a defining match in their campaign. The potential return of Neto and Garnacho would provide McFarlane with additional attacking options for the final.
