Chelsea have confirmed their Ukrainian international striker Andriy Shevchenko will have a groin hernia operation on Tuesday.
The surgery was originally scheduled to take place at the end of the season, but the club's medical department decided to bring it forward.
As a result Shevchenko, a £30million summer signing from AC Milan, will now miss the FA Cup final against Manchester United at Wembley on May 19.
