  • Chelsea have been in a poor run of form lately under new boss Graham Potter
  • Marc Cucurella has also not settled in and has received criticism from the fans
  • The defender has now locked the comments section of his Instagram account

Chelsea suffered another defeat on Saturday, losing 1-0 to relegation-threatened Southampton at Stamford Bridge.

Fans made their feelings known with half-time boos and reactions on social media.

Marc Cucurella is one of the players who has received the most criticism, having failed to hit form despite reuniting with Graham Potter, the manager that made him a famous player when the two worked together at Brighton & Hove Albion.

Cucurella announces wife's third pregnancy

The 24-year-old is a father of two and announced he is expecting a third child with his wife, Claudia Rodriguez, according to his post on Instagram.

The Barcelona academy graduate limited the comments section on the photo sharing platform to avoid unnecessary comments from angry fans.

Fans slam Cucurella's lewd training

Sports Brief also reported on Chelsea fans berating Cucurella for improper gym techniques following a post on social media.

The incident in question happened at the gym of James Ralph, a personal trainer who also works with Reece James and Trevoh Chalobah.

The defender tied a weight around his waist and swung it like a pendulum, but fans were displeased he found things funny despite his form.

Cucurella steps up personal improvement

The defender is yet to settle down in London since his £63 million move from Brighton in the summer and at some point, lost his place to makeshift left-back and academy graduate, Lewis Hall.

Cucurella has since dedicated more time to his personal training. As reported by Sports Brief, he worked on ball control skills by attempting to control the ball shot at him from a dispensing machine.

He controlled all the balls leading to applause from his trainer but ended it by showing off his playful side, controlling the ball with his backside.
