The Chelsea number two goalkeeper has featured in every round of the cup so far but will accept whatever decision Conte makes for the FA Cup final against Manchester United at Wembley.

Though Thibaut Courtois is the main keeper at Chelsea, Caballero has started all six of the club’s FA Cup ties this season following his arrival from Manchester City last summer.

The 36-year-old has made 13 appearances in all competitions for the Blues and has generally performed well, although his recent error did lead to Huddersfield opening the scoring at Stamford Bridge in their last home game of the season. Silly Willy.

However, having been given the nod to start the semi-final success over Southampton at Wembley, the Argentine hopes Conte will keep the faith for the final.

"Yes, of course, it’s the final, everyone wants to play, and I won the other cup [League Cup] with Man City, so hopefully God will be with us again and I can lift the cup with Chelsea," Caballero said.

"I have played in every game. But, for the final, we will see. I have to train very well. But we will see what the starting XI is that Antonio chooses to play in the final and they have to be ready.

"It doesn’t have to be fair - it’s the decision of the boss. And I have to respect what he chooses for this game. There is not an agreement. As I say, when I started I knew that I would start in the cups. I always train so I am ready to play, I want to play."
