FA Cup: Chelsea player hails Crystal Palace’s Marc

Chelsea star Ruben Loftus Cheek has hailed his former teammate Marc Guehi who he played alongside with.

This is coming ahead of Chelsea’s next natch vs Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semi-final today.

With a number of players from his time at Selhurst Park still with the Eagles, as well as knowing defenders Marc Guehi and Joachim Andersen from their time together at Chelsea and Fulham respectively, there will be plenty of familiar faces among the opposition ranks, even if he is looking to burst their bubble at Wembley.

Loftus-Cheek said, ‘I’m still friends with the people I played with there, so I’m happy for Palace. It’s fantastic to see what they’re doing at the moment, they’re in really good form.

‘I’m really good friends with both the centre-backs. I played with Marc here in pre-season a lot. He’s a fantastic player, which you can see, he’s starting every week at the back and I’ve seen him pop up with a few goals as well from corners. Joa was one of our better players at Fulham last season and they’re creating a nice partnership at Palace, but we hope to disrupt that today.’
