Marc Cucurella will not be suspended for the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg between Chelsea and Arsenal. The Blues left-back was sent off 22 minutes into their Premier League clash against Fulham for denying Harry Wilson a goal-scoring opportunity.
The Premier League match centre, via X, wrote: “The referee’s call of free-kick to Fulham and a red card to Cucurella for denial of an obvious goal-scoring opportunity (DOGSO) was checked and confirmed by VAR – with it deemed that Cucurella committed a holding offence that did not continue into the penalty area.”
