KALIDOU KOULIBALY was constrained off with injury against Genuine Madrid.
The middle back seemed to pull his hamstring while contending with Rodrygo to win a free ball in the last part.
He tried to continue playing, but Marc Cucurella replaced him.
Ben Chiwell’s dismissal, on the other hand, only made matters worse for Chelsea.
The England defender pulled Rodrygo back when he was through on goal after being caught by a ball over the top, forcing the referee to issue a red card.
As a result, Frank Lampard had to make another substitution, and Trevoh Chalobah took the place of Raheem Sterling.
Cucurella switched to left wing back to counter Rodrygo’s threat and the Blues’ lack of attack numbers.
Since joining Chelsea in the summer, Koulibaly, 31, has had a difficult season.
In his 35 appearances for Chelsea, he has only been able to keep ten clean sheets, which led the club to sign Benout Badiashile in January.
Due to Lampard’s preference for playing four at the back, there are also doubts that he would have been in the long-term plans.
Chelsea endeavored to remain in the tie notwithstanding teh small scale cautious emergency, yet Genuine made it 2-0 through Marco Asensio in the last option part of the last part.
