CHELSEA summer signing Marc Cucurella could be set to make his full debut against Tottenham on Sunday at Stamford Bridge.
Cucurella, 24, joined the Blues from Brighton earlier this month in a world record £62million deal to add quality at left-back with Marcos Alonso linked with a move to Barcelona.
The Spain international made his debut for his new club last week in the Premier League opener against Everton at Goodison Park and played for 15 minutes.
But this weekend the 24-year-old could start for Thomas Tuchel’s side in Ben Chilwell’s place.
Chilwell started against the Toffees but is still working his way back to full fitness after a long-term knee injury.
The Spaniard, who is the world’s most expensive left-back, could start as a left wing-back in Tuchel’s signature 3-4-3 formation.
