Arsenal legend Ian Wright has condemned the Football Association for preventing Crystal Palace star Conor Gallagher from featuring against parent club Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-finals.
Gallagher played the full 90 minutes as the Eagles thrashed Everton 4-0 to advance to a Wembley showdown against the reigning European champions. The England midfielder has been a standout player for the South London club throughout his season-loan loan at Selhurst Park with eight goals and five assists.
However, he played no part in either of Palace and Chelsea's Premier League encounters this season - both of which the Blues won - and he will remain sidelined for the cup semi-final. This is because FA rules state: "The Association will not give permission for players on loan or work experience to play against the lending Club."
