Although it was a bit lost in the prematch hype, there was an announcement about Chelsea’s FA Cup final team that was just as important as the selection of Thibaut Courtois over Willy Caballero.
Trevoh Chalobah, younger brother of Nat, featured on the bench for the Blues, the first time the youngster has been included in a senior squad.
Giroud in from the off. As is Courtois, despite speculation to the contrary. Cahill's experience put into play too. The wildcard is Trevoh Chalobah on the bench.

It’s a big moment for the young defender, who has shown amazing progress through all the youth levels in the academy.
His older brother was forced to move on to Watford last summer after failing to get the opportunities he deserved in the first team under successive managers. Hopefully the fact that Trev is already featuring on the bench is a sign that he will get more chances than Nat.
That will depend on who is the new manager, whoever they are, they will have a huge talent to work with in the form of young Chalobah.
