Defender has gone from villain to hero at Chelsea and can embellish his cult status by lifting the Club World CupMarc Cucurella is thinking back to his early days at Chelsea. Signed from Brighton for £62m in August 2022, the left-back struggled to adapt to life at a big club.

The upshot has been perspiration outstripping inspiration by some margin.Not that those two elements are mutually exclusive and in Ben Stokes, England have a cricketer who thrives on delivering both. On the third day of this pivotal third Test, as India were bowled out for 387, the scores dead level on first innings, and the hosts were thankful for their captain’s ability to conjure something from nothing.
