Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois is set to miss Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final against Spurs in a massive blow for the league leaders. The setback ruled Courtois out of Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at Manchester United, a result that blew the title race wide open. He too is on course to miss Sunday’s Wembley showdown with Spurs. Chelsea are understood to have then scrapped plans for more of their players to get involved after Courtois sustained his injury last week. After being in total control of the title race, they have now lost two of their last four Premier League games and face Southampton at home next Tuesday night.
