FA Cup: It Hurts – Abraham Reacts To Being Snubbed By Tuchel In
Chelsea 1-0 Defeat To Leicester
Chelsea striker, Tammy Abraham
has told the club’s manager, Thomas Tuchel that not playing in the FA Cup final
defeat to Leicester City ‘hurts.’
The England international,
however said the club still have ‘unfinished business’ this season, being their
Champions League final against Manchester City and Premier League top four
battle.
The 23-year-old was left out of
Thomas Tuchel’s 20-man squad for Saturday’s showpiece at Wembley.
This is despite being the club’s
joint-top scorer this season on 12 goals across all competitions.
Abraham’s girlfriend, Leah Monroe,
had slammed Tuchel prior to kick-off at Wembley for leaving her partner out of
the squad.
Leicester defeated Chelsea 1-0 to
claim their first ever FA Cup trophy courtesy of Youri Tielemans’ stunning
second-half strike.
Abraham admitted the result
‘hurts’ as he thanked fans for their support. “It hurts but we still have
unfinished business,” the striker tweeted.
“Thank you for your support, good
to have you back.”
Asked if Abraham was not a player
for him after the defeat, Tuchel told Stadium Astro after the FA Cup final
defeat: “No, it’s just hard decisions on a matchday when you can only nominate
18 players.”
