The atmosphere at Chelsea Football Club is tense following British media reports about a possible leak of the starting lineup before the team's match against Brighton in the English Premier League, a game that ended in a heavy 3-0 defeat for the "Blues."

According to media reports in England, the barber of Spanish defender Marc Cucurella posted information on his account on the "X" platform before the match, indicating the absence of Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro due to injury, which sparked widespread controversy within the club.

This incident comes at a time when Chelsea is experiencing one of its worst periods, as the team has not secured a victory in the last five matches, leading to a significant decline in results and increasing pressure on the management and coaching staff, before the announcement of the dismissal of coach Liam Rosenior.

Previous reports have indicated that the club has previously faced similar situations involving the leaking of technical information, prompting the management to adopt a stricter approach towards any potential breach of confidentiality within the team in the upcoming period.
