Cahill to miss semi-final after kidney stone treatment

“Yes, you can win titles”.

Chelsea will compete for the FA Cup trophy after they overcame Tottenham Hotspur in a pulsating semi-final at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

However, Hazard and Costa were introduced, along with Cesc Fabregas, with devastating effect as Chelsea booked their place in the final, where they will face either Arsenal or Manchester City.

Conte’s decision to leave Costa and, in particular, Hazard out of his starting line-up was a huge call, but it worked. Fortunately that did not happen, with Willian grabbing a brace before making way for Hazard and his winning goal. The past is in the past and we need to build the present to have a better future.

The double is definitely on, which would be an incredible achievement.

Cahill has been a key figure in Chelsea’s defence this season, playing in a three-man defensive unit with Cesar Azpilicueta and David Luiz, but the on-field skipper is out of the Wembley tie following gastroenteritis.

Antonio Conte’s Chelsea have it spades.

“They are a great team”.

“In this part of the season when you know you have to play three tough games [in a week], you must make strong decisions and take responsibility to make these decisions”.

Crawley, remarkably, equalised in the 93rd minute of the match. That quick turnaround has Conte scratching his head.

Tottenham have now lost a record seven successive FA Cup semi-finals, while Chelsea have reached their seventh final since 2000 – more than any other team this century.

“If we play the way we played today then we can not be anxious”. I think this is the right moment. “For a great club, commercial is very important but I repeat it’s important always to have a good link with everyone, and then to find the best solution to improve”.

Led by England internationals Harry Kane and Dele Alli, Tottenham are a more formidable force now and like Chelsea they had four players named in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year earlier this week.
