Alarm Bells Ring as Moisés Caicedo Doubtful for Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest Match

Concerns are rising within Chelsea as Moisés Caicedo’s fitness is in question ahead of their Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest. The match is set for Saturday at 6:30 PM in Ecuador.

Moisés Caicedo’s Physical Condition Under Scrutiny

Caicedo, who recently scored a stunning goal for Chelsea against Liverpool, missed Thursday’s training session. Coach Enzo Maresca stated that the team will assess his condition before the match at the City Ground.

Injury Concerns for Other Players

Alongside Caicedo, Enzo Fernández and João Pedro are also considered doubtful for the game. Fortunately, Reece James has been cleared and is match-ready.

Caicedo has been dealing with physical discomfort for the past month. Enzo Maresca noted that there have been training days where Caicedo did not participate fully. Despite this, he excelled and contributed significantly to the recent victory over Liverpool.

Recent Decisions by Coaching Staff

During the last FIFA international window, coach Sebastián Beccacece opted to rest Caicedo, indicating concerns about the player’s physical strain. This decision highlights the need for careful management of the Ecuadorian midfielder’s workload.

Implications for Upcoming Matches

The next few hours will be critical in determining whether Caicedo will play on Saturday. If he cannot participate against Nottingham Forest, Maresca may choose to prioritize his fitness for the upcoming Champions League match against Ajax on Tuesday.
