No, we didn’t know Marc Cucurella had a hairdresser either.

Another surreal episode in Chelsea’s chaotic season.

Humiliated on Brighton’s pitch (3-0) for their fifth straight defeat without scoring, the Blues also managed to land themselves a problem of a whole different kind on top of that.

As revealed by The Telegraph, Marc Cucurella’s hairdresser shared confidential information about Chelsea’s lineup for the evening on X (formerly Twitter).

In a post showing him cutting the Spanish international’s hair, the hairdresser wrote: “Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro are both injured for tonight’s match. There’s your exclusive information.”

The English media wasted no time jumping on the story before the barber’s account was deleted. In any case, the claims turned out to be true, with Liam Rosenior confirming that both players were unavailable before kickoff.

It’s not even the first time Chelsea have had to deal with this kind of problem. Earlier in the season, the lineups for both legs of their Champions League tie against PSG had already been leaked to the press.

The atmosphere at the Blues is going to be great over the next few weeks...
