(Reuters) - Chelsea midfielders Mateo Kovacic and N'Golo Kante could feature in Saturday's FA Cup final against Liverpool after manager Thomas Tuchel said this was the time of the season to take risks.

Kovacic, who had recently returned from injury, was on the receiving end of a reckless tackle from Leeds United winger Dan James, who was shown a straight red card for his challenge in Wednesday's 3-0 Premier League win at Elland Road.

"We will try it today. Mateo wants to try it," Tuchel told reporters on Friday."The medical department gave the green light to try it. "We are hoping that maybe time is enough that he makes it, but we will try in training and know more about it... Unfortunately he has this injury before the FA Cup final because he was excellent in the match against Liverpool."

"It was a reduced training session because of lot a long travel and fatigue of travelling... we will also try today with him. He is keen to make it and hopefully he makes it to training 100% so that we can plan with him for tomorrow.Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ben Chilwell remain sidelined with injuries and will miss Saturday's game at Wembley.
