**Breaking: Marc Cucurella to Miss Next Match Following Red Card Incident**

 

Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella is set to miss the upcoming Premier League match against Everton after receiving a red card in the recent 2-1 victory over Brentford. Cucurella was initially booked during stoppage time for a foul on Fabio Carvalho. Following the final whistle, he engaged in an altercation with Brentford’s Kevin Schade, resulting in a second yellow card and subsequent dismissal.

This suspension sidelines Cucurella for the Everton match but allows him to participate in the Europa Conference League fixture against Shamrock Rovers. Manager Enzo Maresca will need to adjust his defensive lineup accordingly, potentially considering Ben Chilwell or Renato Veiga as replacements for the left-back position.

 

Cucurella’s absence comes at a crucial time as Chelsea aims to maintain momentum in their pursuit of Premier League leaders Liverpool. The Blues are currently two points behind, having played one more game. Fans will be eager to see how the team adapts to this challenge in the forthcoming match against Everton.
