Conte should give these 3 Chelsea players a chance in the FA Cup against Man United

Kurt Zouma

Defender Kurt Zouma is slowly but surely building up his fitness after nine months out with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

The 22-year-old sustained the injury in the Blues’ 1-1 draw with Monday’s opponents back in February 2016, and didn’t appear again for the club until their 4-1 win over Peterborough in the FA Cup earlier this season.

And since then the French international has started both their fourth round and fifth round successes, as well as made three substitute appearances in the Premier League.

Zouma is clearly a very talented defender who needs minutes on the pitch, so expect to see him start against United on Monday.
