Mystery Leak: Chelsea Team News Surfaces Online
22 Apr
Summary
- A social media post allegedly from a Chelsea player's barber revealed injury news.
- The post incorrectly stated the source and was later deleted, but not denied.
- This is the third team news leak from Chelsea since early January.
A social media post, allegedly originating from the barber of Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella, has sparked controversy by revealing team news. The post claimed that midfielders Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro would be absent from a recent match due to injuries. This information was not previously public; Palmer's hamstring injury was undisclosed, and Joao Pedro had only undergone a fitness test on the morning of the game.
The post, which also featured an image of Cucurella's distinctive hair, has since been deleted along with the account it appeared on. While its authenticity cannot be independently verified, the club has not denied the validity of the leaked information when questioned.
This incident marks the third alleged leak of team news from Chelsea since Liam Rosenior took charge in early January. Similar leaks occurred before both legs of the team's Champions League tie against Paris St-Germain. Rosenior previously commented on these occurrences, stating they were "dealt with" and lacked malicious intent.
Chelsea currently holds seventh place in the Premier League with four league matches remaining. Their next fixture is the FA Cup semi-final against Leeds at Wembley Stadium.
