Back problem forces Christensen to miss cup final

A back problem ruled Andreas Christensen out of today’s FA Cup final against Manchester United.

Chelsea defender Christensen is not fit enough to even take a place on the bench at Wembley, where Gary Cahill and Antonio Rudiger start at the back for the Blues. Youngster Trevoh Chalobah is among the substitutes.[phone]

As expected, Thibaut Courtois is in goal rather than Willy Caballero, while Olivier Giroud leads the attack, supported by Eden Hazard.

There is also a starting place for Tiemoue Bakayoko, so both Willian and Pedro have to settle for places on the bench,
