Chelsea have been dealt a potential injury concern after Marc Cucurella felt discomfort in his hamstring during their 2-2 Premier League draw against Leeds United on Tuesday night.
The Blues were held at Elland Road in an entertaining contest that saw both sides share the points, but attention quickly shifted to Cucurella’s fitness following comments from manager Liam Rosenior after the match. The Spanish left-back was substituted at half-time after experiencing muscle issues.
Speaking to the media, Rosenior confirmed that Cucurella would undergo medical tests to determine the extent of the injury.
“Marc Cucurella felt his hamstring at half time,” Rosenior said. “He will have a scan and we hope he’s okay for the next game.”
Chelsea had taken the lead twice in the match but were unable to hold on, with Leeds showing resilience to fight back on both occasions.
Cucurella has been an important figure in Chelsea’s defensive setup this season, providing energy on the flank and contributing both defensively and in attack. Any absence could be a setback for the London club, especially with a busy fixture schedule approaching.
