Chelsea's Kovacic, Kante could play in FA Cup final, says Tuchel
Chelsea midfielders Mateo Kovacic and N'Golo Kante could feature in Saturday's FA Cup final against Liverpool after manager Thomas Tuchel said this was the time of the season to take risks. Kovacic, who had recently returned from injury, was on the receiving end of a reckless tackle from Leeds United winger Dan James, who was shown a straight red card for his challenge in Wednesday's 3-0 Premier League win at Elland Road. Tuchel said Kovacic had not picked up a new ankle injury but was suffering from heavy pain, while Kante is expected to train later on Friday after missing their last three matches through an unspecified injury.
