[edit] Football career
After emerging through the youth ranks of Atlético de Madrid, Cuéllar made his first main squad appearance in the last matchday of 2004–05, in a 2–2 draw with neighbours Getafe CF. In 2006–07, benefitting from the forced absences of first-choice Leo Franco, he appeared a further seven times, conceding in a 0–6 home defeat to FC Barcelona, on May 20, 2007.
After a season-long loan at second division side SD Eibar, appearing in all the matches save four, Cuéllar was released by Atlético (as another youth graduate in the same position, Ismael Falcón) and joined Sporting de Gijón in August 2008, on a four-year contract. After Sergio Sánchez conceded 19 goals in the season's first four matches, he became first-choice but, after a collision with Athletic de Bilbao's Carlos Gurpegui, during a 0–3 away loss on December 14, suffered a serious ankle injury which rendered him unavailable for three months.
In mid-November 2009, as he was second-choice to Juan Pablo, Cuéllar suffered another severe injury, damaging his knee in training, being again lost for the vast majority of the season.
