'We conceded two easy goals': Cucurella reflects on return to Chelsea squad

Marc Cucurella played his first game for Chelsea since December after an ankle injury ruled him out for nearly three months.

"It’s not easy when you’re a player and you’re out injured – it’s difficult," Cucurella said after the game.

"I tried to work hard and put everything into my work. I had the opportunity to play and I’m really happy that I could help the team and stay on the pitch. Hopefully, it’s the first game of many.

"I think the team played really well. We dominated the game, but we conceded two easy goals and I think we need to improve on this. We deserved the win and I’m very happy for the team."

Cucurella had a decent outing against Newcastle and will hopefully find his form again in the upcoming games.
