Arsenal vs Chelsea will be an interesting tactical matchup in the FA Cup Final
Arsenal and Chelsea have had very different seasons. After a bit of a rocky start, Chelsea surged to the top of the Premier League and never looked back, while Arsenal were inconsistent the entire year, and missed qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in the Wenger era.

This is terrible timing for Zelalem, as not only will he miss the rest of the U-20 World Cup, but he is out of contract with Arsenal this summer, and will be looking for a new team coming off a major injury, which is never easy. Hopefully Zelalem is able to fuly recover and come back strong from this injury.
