Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher has been spotted at Wembley Stadium despite the Blues having rejected Crystal Palace’s request for him to play in Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final. The two teams come together at the national stadium with both understandably keen to book themselves a ticket to May’s showpiece final.
After starring on-loan with the Eagles so far this season, the terms of Gallagher's loan prevent him from appearing against his parent club on Sunday. The decision will of course be a huge disappointment for the midfielder - as well as Palace - with the Croydon side having seen an appeal for him to be made eligible rejected by the Blues.
Despite the decision, Gallagher still elected to travel down to Wembley with his adoptive teammates and soak up the pre-match atmosphere at the national stadium. He was spotted on the pitch ahead of kick-off in his Crystal Palace tracksuit.
