It has been revealed that Andreas Christensen was not left out of the Chelsea squad that suffered defeat to Liverpool in the FA Cup final last weekend.
He had, in fact, requested to not play before leaving the team hotel. It came as a shock to the other players, and quite frankly, it came as a shock to several fans, including myself.
Christensen was not expected to stay at Chelsea after the summer transfer window. His exit was deemed inevitable, having been linked with a move to Barcelona on a free transfer.
