Chelsea will face Patrick Vieira's Crystal Palace for a spot in the FA Cup final this Saturday. Ben Chilwell and Callum Hudson-Odoi will not play, according to Tuchel.However, there was some good news in the form of Romelu Lukaku's possible return, with the striker in contention to play. Marc Guehi, who was sold by Chelsea last summer, will face Chelsea.Conor Gallagher, on the other hand, will not play for Palace as Chelsea refused to allow the midfielder to play against his parent club."I got the?? opportunity to speak with Conor, and I could understand his frustration," Tuchel added. We met a few weeks ago, after the international break, by chance, and we had a discussion, for which I apologize because I am aware of his competitive nature.It's just the way things are. We play to win, and the rules were laid out for us when we took out the loan. Conor's disappointment is understandable."
