Mount And Other Players Buy FA Cup Final Tickets For Academy Players

This FA Cup final is not like all the others for Chelsea: due to the sanctions, the club could not purchase tickets for the Liverpool game to distribute between the academy players and their parents, as they normally do.

Fortunately, the first-team players have stepped up: according to Goal, they have teamed up and bought tickets for the youngsters.

It's claimed that the effort has been led by Mason Mount who was joined by some other Chelsea academy graduates.

“That’s what we did," Thomas Tuchel said when asked to confirm the story.

"It’s a big competition. It is one club. Normally the club would buy these tickets to provide tremor with the players’ parents of the academy so we stepped in and bought the tickets for them."

The sanctions should be lifted as soon as the Premier League approves Todd Boehly's consortium as the next Chelsea owners. This is expected to happen at the end of this month.
