Chelsea have received a significant boost ahead of their FA Cup final showdown with Manchester City, with Pedro Neto, Alejandro Garnacho and Robert Sanchez all back in contention. Interim boss Calum McFarlane confirmed all three players have returned to training and are available for selection at Wembley.

The wingers have missed the last two games since starting the semi-final victory over Leeds, while Sanchez suffered a head injury during the Premier League defeat to Nottingham Forest on May 4. McFarlane remained tight-lipped about whether the goalkeeper would reclaim his starting spot immediately, with Filip Jorgensen having impressed during his absence.

The Chelsea manager did offer more positive news on the defensive front, confirming both captain Reece James and Levi Colwill are in good shape after completing full minutes in Saturday's draw at Anfield against Liverpool. Their recovery ensures the squad heads into the final with near-full strength available.
