Chelsea

Conte giving little away on keeper decision


Antonio Conte has refused to reveal whether Thibaut Courtois or Willy Caballero will be in goal for Chelsea in Saturday’s FA Cup final against Manchester United.

Courtois is expected to play, but back-up keeper Caballero has featured in previous cup ties for the Blues.

Asked at his post-match media conference which of his keepers he would select, boss Conte said: “I don’t want to give you the starting 11. Tomorrow you will see.”

The Italian added that Emerson Palmieri is the only Chelsea player unavailable for this weekend’s game.

Conte also faces a key decision up front, with Olivier Giroud expected to lead the attack.

Meanwhile, United’s former Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku is doubt for the game and faces a late fitness test.
