Moises Caicedo - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Plays multiple positions in defeat Caicedo recorded two clearancesand four interceptions in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus Sunderland. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 76th minute.

Impact Caicedo retained his starting place despite dealing with discomfort earlier in the week, initially operating in midfield alongside Romeo Lavia and Jordan Henderson. He shifted into central defense after Levi Colwill was substituted at halftime, allowing Chelsea to introduce another attacking player. The Ecuadorian has accumulated nine tackles and 11 interceptions across six Premier League appearances this season without registering a goal contribution. His versatility remains valuable, although he is expected to primarily feature in midfield.

However, the Ecuadorian midfielder has recovered sufficiently to retain his starting role Sunday, extending his run to five consecutive starts across all competitions. He will line up alongside Romeo Lavia and Jordan Henderson in midfield, providing Chelsea with a strong central presence.

Impact Caicedo has been able to do a little training this week, which is a step forward after the discomfort he felt following the win over Manchester United. The midfielder will be assessed in Saturday's final session before the squad travels, so his availability for Sunday remains uncertain. The Ecuadorian has started each of Chelsea's last four matches, and if he misses out, Romeo Lavia and Jordan Henderson could form the midfield pairing.

Uncertain for Sunderland clash Caicedo (discomfort) is doubtful for Sunday's Premier League clash against Sunderland after experiencing physical discomfort following his last appearance, according to coach Xabi...

Impact Caicedo was absent from the portion of Chelsea's training session open to the media Wednesday, raising concerns about his fitness ahead of Sunday's encounter. The midfielder has started Chelsea's last four matches since returning from a previous injury, but his latest discomfort appears to be unrelated to his earlier calf issue. His availability will depend on a late assessment, with Romeo Lavia and Jordan Henderson potentially forming the midfield partnership if he is unable to feature.

Impact Caicedo's absence from the portion of training open to the media raises questions about his availability for Sunday's encounter, although no injury or fitness concern has been confirmed. The midfielder has started Chelsea's last four matches since returning from injury, reestablishing himself as a regular presence in central midfield. His status should become clearer in the coming days, with Romeo Lavia and Jordan Henderson potentially forming the midfield partnership if he is unavailable.

Makes starting XI Caicedo (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Manchester United.

Impact Caicedo retains his starting role after minor physical discomfort prompted his replacement by Valentin Barco after 68 minutes of Wednesday's EFL Cup defeat against Liverpool. Coach Xabi Alonso played down the concern, and the midfielder is fit enough to start again. He has started Chelsea's last four matches and continues to provide an important presence in possession and defensive recovery. His inclusion keeps a regular option in central midfield for the matchup.

Impact Caicedo recorded 68 minutes of play in the EFL Cup defeat before being replaced by Valentin Barco. It's not entirely clear whether this is an important injury that would put the Ecuadorian's participation at risk, but the team may be cautious given that he already battled injuries at the beginning of the season. He's now coming off a run of four starts, operating as a central piece in passing and ball recovery play. Romeo Lavia and Jordan Henderson are other players who may fulfill those duties if Caicedo is sidelined again.

Substituted due to fatigue Caicedo was substituted late in Saturday's 2-0 Premier League victory over Everton due to tiredness rather than a new injury concern, according to coach Xabi Alonso, per Roundtable...

Impact Caicedo was withdrawn during the closing stages of Saturday's 2-0 victory over Everton as Chelsea continued to manage his workload following his recent return to action. The Ecuadorian midfielder made his second consecutive appearance after recovering from a calf injury and delivered another solid performance in the center of the pitch, recording one shot, one chance created and 58 passes. He also completed six passes into the final third and five line-breaking passes while winning 50 percent of his ground duels and one aerial duel. Caicedo came close to scoring with a powerful first-half effort that struck the woodwork, although his attacking contributions remained limited overall. Coach Alonso's comments suggest his substitution was precautionary rather than injury-related, and with Chelsea having a full week to prepare for Saturday's clash against Tottenham, Caicedo should have sufficient time to recover and remain in contention for his usual starting role.

Creates one chance in victory Caicedo registered one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Everton.

Impact Caicedo wasn't the man of the hour as the midfielder only managed a one-off-target shot and created one chance against Everton. He offered limited attacking output, but his deeper position helped him make the joint-most passes in the game (58). The Ecuadorian also won 50 per cent of the ground duels faced and one aerial duel. Furthermore, he made six passes into the final third and five line-breaking passes.

Completes first start of season Caicedo had one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 5-1 victory against AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Caicedo recorded two interceptions and one off-target shot across 72 minutes during his first start of the season in Saturday's 5-1 victory. His most notable moment came at the wrong end when he tried to clear a loose ball following a Bournemouth corner, only for the clearance to strike Evanilson and ricochet into the net for the visitors' lone goal. Caicedo was withdrawn alongside Joao Pedro as Chelsea managed the minutes of two players who had worked back toward full fitness during the international break.

Starting in return Caicedo (calf) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Bournemouth.

Impact Caicedo makes his first Premier League start of the campaign after recovering from a calf injury that limited him to 14 minutes of league action. The midfielder featured in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Portsmouth and returned to full team training during the international break. His return to the lineup could reduce Romeo Lavia's playing time after Lavia helped cover midfield during his absence.

Cleared to face Bournemouth Caicedo (calf) is available for Saturday's Premier League clash against Bournemouth after returning to full training during the international break, according to coach Xabi Alonso....

Impact Caicedo has completed his recovery from the calf injury that has limited him to just 14 minutes of Premier League action this season. The midfielder recently featured in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Portsmouth before returning to full team training during the international break. Manager Xabi Alonso has now confirmed that Caicedo is fully available, putting him in contention for his first league start of the campaign against Bournemouth. His return could reduce Romeo Lavia's playing time after the latter helped cover midfield during his absence.

Impact Caicedo "played a part" in the first half of that friendly, which resulted in a 2-0 loss to the Championship side, and it marked another positive step in the midfielder's recovery. Caicedo has been limited to just 14 minutes of EPL action this season, but a final call on his status will probably be made by manager Xabi Alonso in his pre-match presser before Saturday's contest against Bournemouth. Romeo Lavia should continue to see an expanded role in midfield if Caicedo isn't fit to return, or start, Saturday against the Cherries.

Impact Caicedo has been limited to just 14 minutes of action in the 2026/27 season across all competitions, and he didn't play with Ecuador during the international break to overcome the calf issue that has been bothering him for quite some time. A final update on Caicedo's availability should come closer to the weekend, presumably during Xabi Alonso's pre-match press conference, but Chelsea could use his presence back in the middle of the park.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Continues to miss training Caicedo (calf) has yet to resume practice while Chelsea prepare for the next stretch of the season during the international break, Arthur Ferridge of The Standard reports.

Impact Caicedo was not called up by the Ecuadorian national team to prioritize his recovery from the issue that has sidelined him for all of September. While the key midfielder fails to make a return to training sessions, players such as Romeo Lavia, Valentin Barco and Jordan Henderson may see increased chances of appearing in the double pivot. However, Caicedo will regain a major role whenever he's fit again given his status as a reliable all-around contributor.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Not called up by Ecuador Caicedo (calf) has not been called up by Ecuador for the international break.

Impact Caicedo will continue on the sidelines through the international break as he works on recovering from a calf injury. That means the earliest we will see him back in action is when Chelsea resumes play after the break, facing Bournemouth on Oct. 10. He has still only appeared once for Chelsea all season, missing out on four of their five outings.

Out another match Caicedo (calf) is out for Friday's match against Brentford.

Impact Caicedo will not return ahead of the international break and will instead remain sidelined, with the midfielder still struggling with a calf injury. The good news is that he should use the break to heal fully after just being considered a late call. It will mark a third match missed in a row for the Ecuadorian, leaving Chelsea without an important piece of their midfield.

Late call against Brentford Caicedo (calf) could return for Friday's clash against Brentford, with a final decision on his availability expected ahead of the match, according to coach Xabi Alonso, per Footbal...

Impact Caicedo has missed Chelsea's last two Premier League matches due to the calf injury but is now moving closer to a return. His availability will be determined by a final assessment ahead of Friday's match, though Chelsea is unlikely to take unnecessary risks with the midfielder. Romeo Lavia and Reece James should remain the main options in central midfield if Caicedo isn't cleared to return.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Still not training Tuesday Caicedo (calf) is still not training Tuesday and remains a doubt for Friday's clash against Brentford, according to James Savundra of Sky Sports News.

Impact Caicedo had missed the last two Premier League games due to a calf injury, with coach Xabi Alonso having expressed hope at the time that Caicedo could return against Brentford, though the midfielder still has to resume team training with the Bleus. Romeo Lavia and Reece James have continued to start in central midfield during his absence, and Chelsea continues to manage his recovery cautiously rather than rush him back into action.
