According to reports from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on his official X handle, it is understood that Marc Cucurella felt discomfort in his hamstring at half-time during Chelsea’s 2–2 draw against Leeds United. The issue has raised concerns within the club as they await further medical assessment.
Softfootball understands that the Spanish defender will undergo a scan to determine the extent of the problem while the club remains hopeful that the injury is not serious and that Cucurella will be available for the next fixture.
Romano updated that:
Liam Rosenior: “Marc Cucurella felt his hamstring at half time”. “He will have a scan and we hope he’s okay for the next game”.
Cucurella has grown into a vital figure for the Blues, both on and off the pitch. Following his recent contract agreement with the club, Chelsea have regarded him as an important leader within the squad and a key component of their present ambitions as well as their long-term plans. His potential absence would therefore represent a significant setback.
Meanwhile, in other developments, Liam Rosenior has clarified Josh Acheampong’s long-term role at the club. The manager confirmed that the 19-year-old prospect is being primarily developed as a center-back, despite his increasing reputation for versatility across defensive positions.
