‘How on earth do you make the decision to leave your top goal scorer out of the squad for a final?! She said in a now deleted Instagram post.
‘The same person who even scored the goal to actually qualify for this competition? It’s not making any sense to me whatsoever.’
She added: ‘Not even on the bench?! This has to be a joke. ‘
Timo Werner lead the line for the Blues with veteran striker Olivier Giroud and record signing Kai Havertz both amongst the substitutes. That left Abraham to watch from the stands.
