'You are in a f***ing final - do it for your team, the fans': Ex-Liverpool defender Jose Enrique launches a scathing attack on Chelsea's Andreas Christensen after it emerged he pulled out of Thomas Tuchel's side on the morning of the FA Cup final

Former Liverpool defender Jose Enrique has launched a scathing attack on Andreas Christensen after it emerged he pulled out of involvement in the FA Cup final for Chelsea hours before kick-off.

The Denmark international - who will join Barcelona at the end of the season - was not injured but told head coach Thomas Tuchel on the morning of the game he did not want to be considered for the Wembley showdown because he did not feel ready to play.

It is likely that Christensen would have started the game ahead of Trevoh Chalobah if he was available for selection and his decision to withdraw from the squad to face Jurgen Klopp's side was a major blow to Chelsea's plans.
