Andreas Christensen shocked Chelsea teammates by refusing to play in FA Cup final

Andreas Christensen made himself unavailable for the FA Cup final.

Christensen’s Chelsea team mates were shocked and confused after the Denmark defender disappeared from the team hotel on Saturday morning. Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel decided not to pick him which caused a last minute change and disruption to his plans.

Christensen complained of feeling unwell during the week, did play at Leeds, wanted to play at Wembley but Tuchel clearly decided against it even though his team mates were expecting him to start. Christensen is set to join Barcelona this summer and now it looks certain that he has played his last game for the club and is heading for an acrimonious exit.
