The Brazilian star, who has worn the armband under Pereira when Nelson Semedo has been out, cut a frustrated figure at Stamford Bridge as he complained at team-mates and seemed not to put in the required effort.

And rather than defend his player, head coach Pereira has urged for more from his best attacker.

"He's a captain and I had this conversation in the dressing room," Pereira said of Cunha's performance.

"He can be frustrated because he wants to win, but everyone in the dressing room wants to win.

"I don't like this body language. I want someone as a captain, trying to help the team, running, suffering, fighting together.

"But this is something I can understand. Next time I will not understand."
