Tammy Abraham's girlfriend has hit out at Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel for leaving the striker out of his squad for the FA Cup final.
Abraham's future at Stamford Bridge was plunged into further doubt after he was omitted from the Blues' squad for the showpiece which they went on to lose 1-0 to Leicester City.
The Chelsea striker's girlfriend Leah Monroe took to Instagram to vent her frustration over Tuchel's decision.
'How on earth do you make the decision to leave your top goal scorer out of the squad for a final?! She said in a now deleted Instagram post.
'The same person who even scored the goal to actually qualify for this competition? It's not making any sense to me whatsoever.'
She added: 'Not even on the bench?! This has to be a joke. '
Timo Werner lead the line for the Blues with veteran striker Olivier Giroud and record signing Kai Havertz both amongst the substitutes. That left Abraham to watch from the stands.
The 23-year-old has found opportunities hard to come by since Tuchel replaced Frank Lampard as manager in January.
Despite falling down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge Abraham remains Chelsea's top scorer this season having scored 12 goals in 34 appearances.
He scored his first senior hat-trick in an FA Cup fourth round win over Luton and netted the winner at Barnsley in the fifth round of the competition.
The England international has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge this summer, both Aston Villa and West Ham are rumoured to be interested.

we seeing Tuchel useless attitude bit by bit. when last James play as centre defender? weak Alonso start ahead of Chewill? Kepa in for Mandy? we deserve to lost because we didn't start with winning team, it will be so disgraceful to lost two finals in the same year with the so called most talk about tactical coach.

How is Werner better than Abraham? Because he is German he can tolerate his rubbish and keep playing him.

This was an opportunity for Chelsea to win the FA cup because Champions league will be more tougher for them to win, City have only one option and is to bring that trophy to Etihad this season

As a Soccer fan, this is cause for concern among the Black players of Chelsea. At least someone has the guts to speak up for Tammy. If it was Pep, people who be calling him Racist and Everything. But honestly this is a Strange Decision 🤔. Hope Tuchel play Werner against Us in the Champion League Final. As a matter of fact Tuchel gonna Need Eleven Werner on the Field and still won't win.

Calm down guys. It was bitter losing yesterday, but we don't need to recklessly apportion blames but to take a critical look at our last three outings and to make the necessary corrections. We didn't perform up to our standards because of poor team selection, and arguably hard luck. Yesterday's game could have been won easily with the right selection. What was Kepa doing in there when we have Mendy? Why not play James and Chilwell in the back three, Odoi and Mount as wingbacks? Kovacic and Kante in midfield, then Pulisic and Werner upfront with Havertz as false 9. Have Tammy on the bench in case we need a third striker.

I wish you luck on survival after saying Soccer, that word is really sensitive to them more than any offensive slur ever.
