Jamie Gittens - Suffers hamstring injury Gittens was not an option for Saturday's 7-0 win over Port Vale due to a hamstring injury, according to manager Liam Rosenior. "Unfortunately, Jamie, in training yesterday, picked...

Impact Gittens was expected to be an option for Saturday's FA Cup match after shaking off a hamstring injury, but has instead suffered a setback, with the forward injured during Friday's training. This will leave the forward out for another week at least, as the club is set to go through some scans and take the return cautiously after his recent setback. However, this remains a brutal spell for the player, having not played since January due to injury.

Robert Sanchez - Keeps clean sheet in victory Sanchez kept a clean sheet to go with zero saves in Saturday's 7-0 FA Cup quarterfinal win over Port Vale.

Impact Sanchez did not have to come up with a single save as Port Vale failed to put any shot on target over the full 90 minutes, with Chelsea's defensive shape and nonstop pressure completely shutting down the League One side and preventing any real danger. The Spaniard finally came away with a clean sheet after going without one in his previous six appearances. His last Premier League clean sheet came against Brentford on Jan. 17, and he may have to wait a bit before picking up the next one with Chelsea set to face Manchester City next Sunday.

Alejandro Garnacho - Scores penalty against Port Vale Garnacho came on in the 61st minute and scored a stoppage-time penalty in Saturday's 7-0 FA Cup quarterfinal win over Port Vale.

Impact Garnacho checked in during the 61st minute for Pedro Neto and continued the momentum, rattling the post twice before winning and burying a stoppage-time penalty to net Chelsea's seventh, slotting the ball into the bottom-right corner to cap a statement afternoon at Stamford Bridge. He ended the match with one goal, three shots (one on target) and three dribble attempts in just over 29 minutes, while also helping spark the move that led to Estevao's sixth goal. Garnacho has now scored in each of his last two FA Cup appearances, and his aggressiveness off the bench keeps giving coach Liam Rosenior a dependable late-game attacking weapon.

Estevao - Scores and assists in win Estevao scored one goal and registered one assist in Saturday's 7-0 FA Cup quarterfinal win over Port Vale.

Impact Estevao cracked the starting XI for the first time since his hamstring injury and turned in one of the game's top individual showings, setting up Andrey Santos' 69th minute header off a corner before bagging Chelsea's sixth in the 82nd minute after pouncing on Alejandro Garnacho's shot off the post, with the goal initially waved off for offside before VAR gave it. He also rattled the woodwork twice in the second half and created four chances overall, ending the day with one goal and one assist across 82 minutes before coming off. Estevao is now up to seven goals and three assists in all competitions in his debut season with the Blues, and Saturday's outing was another reminder of how dangerous Chelsea can be when the youngster is firing on all cylinders.

Tosin Adarabioyo - Scores goal against Port Vale Adarabioyo scored one goal to go with nine clearances in Saturday's 7-0 FA Cup quarterfinal win over Port Vale.

Impact Adarabioyo buried Chelsea's fourth goal in the 57th minute, climbing above everyone to get on the end of Malo Gusto's clipped service from the right and powering a header into the bottom corner for his seventh goal since joining the club in 2024. He also turned in a calm and polished shift at the back alongside Wesley Fofana in what was labeled a routine defensive day, winning three aerial duels and racking up nine clearances while Port Vale managed just four total shot attempts and failed to put a single effort on target over the full 90 minutes. Adarabioyo has now found the net in two of his last four FA Cup appearances, though he still looks like a rotational piece for the Blues after making just two starts in his last eight appearances.

Malo Gusto - Delivers assist in win Gusto delivered one assist to go with two chances created in Saturday's 7-0 FA Cup quarterfinal win over Port Vale.

Impact Gusto was all over Chelsea's buildup in this one, winning the corner that led to Jorrel Hato's opener and then whipping in a dangerous ball from the right that Tosin Adarabioyo buried for the fourth goal in the 57th minute. He closed with two chances created and one interception across 85 minutes before coming off late, turning in a steady shift down the right side. Gusto had been capped at one half in each of his previous two appearances for the Blues, but after featuring for France and then going nearly the distance Saturday, he looks fully back to full fitness.

Pedro Neto - Provides assist in victory Neto registered one assist to go with five corners and five crosses in Saturday's 7-0 FA Cup quarterfinal win over Port Vale.

Impact Neto sparked Joao Pedro's 25th minute goal with a strong run down the right wing, winning the ball battle against Liam Gordon before firing in a low cross that the Brazilian buried with confidence, and he also whipped in the dangerous ball that led to Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel's own goal after attacking the box and setting up Cole Palmer. The winger also forced a strong save from the opposing keeper with a powerful second-half strike before coming off in the 61st minute, ending the match with one assist, one chance created and one shot. Neto now has two assists in his last four appearances across all competitions and is carrying strong momentum into Chelsea's final stretch of the season.

Joao Pedro - Scores goal against Port Vale Pedro scored once to go with two shots (one on target) and one chance created in Saturday's 7-0 FA Cup quarterfinal win over Port Vale.

Impact Pedro buried Chelsea's second goal in the 25th minute, taking Pedro Neto's low cross on the right side of the box, spinning his man and tucking a clean finish into the bottom corner to push his season total to 19 goals across all competitions. He was Chelsea's most dangerous attacker before coming off in the 61st minute, ending with one goal, two shots and two key passes in a dominant performance against a League One back line that had no answer for his movement.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Jorrel Hato - Scores opener in FA Cup Hato scored in the second minute of Saturday's 7-0 FA Cup quarterfinal victory over Port Vale.

Impact Hato got Chelsea on the board just two minutes in, pouncing on a loose ball in the box after goalkeeper Joe Gauci bobbled Pedro Neto's corner twice and calmly ripping a half-volley through traffic for his second goal under coach Liam Rosenior. He also carved up the Port Vale defense with a late pass to Alejandro Garnacho that directly set up Estevao's goal, ending the match with one goal and one key chance created. Hato has now scored twice in his last four FA Cup appearances for Chelsea and keeps growing into a real attacking weapon at left-back, a role he was not originally brought in to play.
