How many games Marc Cucurella will miss for Chelsea after red card vs Brentford
Marc Cucurella will miss one game for Chelsea after being sent off following the final whistle in the 2-1 victory against Brentford. Since the red card resulted from a second yellow for “adopting an aggressive attitude,” it incurs a standard one-match suspension under Premier League rules.
