Chelsea winger Pedro undergoes surgery on shoulder injury ahead of Roma transfer

Chelsea winger Pedro has undergone surgery after injuring his shoulder in Saturday’s FA Cup Final.

The Blues lost the final to Arsenal 2-1 at Wembley and were struck down with a number of injuries during the match.

One of those was to Pedro who, after coming on as a second-half substitute, landed awkwardly on his shoulder when competing for the ball with Arsenal defender Sokratis.

The 33-year-old, who is due to join Roma for free this month, was carried off on a stretcher and he has now undergone surgery.

“The surgery went well, I will be back soon,” Pedro wrote on Instagram. “It was a pity not to win the FA Cup. Thank you all for your support.”

The surgery means Pedro will miss the second-leg of Chelsea’s Champions League last-16 against Bayern Munich on Saturday and has played his last game for the club.
