'Where is Christian Pulisic?!' - Chelsea fans stunned with Frank Lampard choice vs Man United

Chelsea are back in FA Cup action this evening when they take on Manchester United in the semi-final at Wembley.

With such a bisy schedule and the Premier League's top four race going down to the wire, Frank Lampard has made several changes.

However, one of the biggest ones is the fact that Christian Pulisic has been dropped to the bench for the game.

The 21-year-old has been in excellent form since the return of football, netting three goals and getting the assist for the winner over Norwich City on Tuesday night.

The American has struggled with some injuries over the course of the campaign, picking up a big injury on New Year's Day.

Lampard is being cautious over his star player and does not want to cause any more injury issues for the winger.

However, for some Chelsea fans the decision to leave him on the sidelines has not gone down well.

Lampard has made a change to the formation, with the Blues boss playing three at the back and also did confirm that Pulisic had a slight knock, which could only see him on the bench.

Cesar Azpilicueta will be in the three, with Antonio Rudiger and Kurt Zouma, while Reece James and Marcos Alonso will be the wing-backs.
