Is Marc Cuccurella in Starting XI for Cardiff vs Chelsea Club? LIVE STREAMING Info

Chelsea will travel to Cardiff City in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup 2025-26 on Tuesday night. The match will take place at Cardiff City Stadium. The Blues have returned to winning ways this weekend, dominating Everton 2-0 at Stamford Bridge. Before the Everton clash, Chelsea were on a four-match winless run, following two consecutive draws against Arsenal and Bournemouth and a defeat against Leeds in the domestic league and Atalanta in the UCL.

Injuries have always been a problem for the Enzo Maresca-led side, and in the pre-match press conference, the Italian gaffer confirmed in the pre-match press conference the availability of two key players, Marc Cucurella and one of the best midfielders in the Premier League right now Cole Palmer.

The former Leicester City manager confirmed that Cucurella will miss out due to suspension, and this opens the place for multiple players who are constantly starting from the bench, Jorrel Hato and Josh Acheampong. Although Reece James is fully fit, he might start in the left-back spot, which also includes a slight chance for Andrey Santos to start this match in the double pivot. However, Enzo Maresca hasn't said anything related to the starting XI in the press conference.
