A video has emerged showing Marc Cucurella 'ignoring' Mykhailo Mudryk throughout Chelsea's 1-1 draw against West Ham.
Tribuna posted a meme which suggested that Cucurella deliberately ignored passing the ball to Mudryk in favour of his teammates.
Mudryk 'liked' the post, per the Sun, but later unliked it.
It may have been a mistake from Mudryk but it seems it was a case of 'there's no smoke without fire.'

That's because a compilation video has emerged of every time Mudryk was ignored by Cucurella - and it's quite startling.
Time and time again, Cucurella has the ball and the obvious pass appears to be to Mudryk. However, he inexplicably decides against it every time. Every time you think that SURELY he'd pass to Mudryk this time but somehow never does.
It's not the first time this week that someone associated with Chelsea has been caught 'liking' a derogatory tweet about Cucuarella.
On Thursday, it was new owner Todd Boehly.
Boehly’s Twitter account liked a tweet from football.london with an article including quotes from Chelsea great Frank Leboeuf.
"We don’t want to see Cucurella anymore," Leboeuf said. "With all due respect to a man that I don’t know, the player is not good enough for Chelsea. It’s as simple as that."
Potter was asked about Boehly's tweet to which he said: "I don’t know, I can’t comment. It is nothing I would say is a reflection of Todd in any way.
"But I don’t know how social media works. But like I have said, everyone here is really supportive of Marc and we trying to help him get back to the level he can get to and enjoy his football because if a player is enjoying their football they are playing well."
Cucurella was substituted in the second half against West Ham and was booed off by a section of Chelsea away supporters.
Graham Potter defended the former Brighton left-back.
"Supporters are entitled to their opinion of course, they just want the team to do well and as I said in the previous press conference I don’t think Marc is in his absolute best moment," Potter said.
"But at the same time he’s been part of a team that’s kept a clean sheet at Anfield, a clean sheet against Fulham.
"In the summer, I know because I was at the selling club, there was another club that were interested in Marc.
"From a points view in the Premier League they are a good club, so Marc hasn’t become a bad player at all but some players can go through bad times so we need to stick together and help him.
"Supporters are entitled to their opinion there’s nothing for me to be critical of. That’s just what we have to work with."
