Caicedo (calf) has been working hard on his recovery during the international break, but it remains to be seen whether he'll be available to face Bournemouth on Saturday, according to Bobby Vincent of Football.London.
Analysis: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.
