MOI ENCIENDE LAS ALARMAS EN CHELSEA: Caicedo se dobló el tobillo sobre el final del partido ante Fluminense y preocupa a los Blues de cara a la definición del Mundial de Clubes. https://t.co/8o36GPyLKm
Chelsea face an anxious wait over the fitness of midfielder Moises Caicedo after the Ecuador international limped off late in the club’s 2–0 victory against Brazil’s Fluminense in the Club World Cup semi-final at MetLife Stadium in New York on Tuesday. Caicedo appeared to twist his ankle and left the pitch in visible discomfort, raising doubts about his availability for Sunday’s final. Head coach Enzo Maresca said, “I told Caicedo he has to do everything to be on the pitch on Sunday. We will see.” The injury scare overshadowed a standout performance by recent signing Joao Pedro, who scored both goals against his former club to send the Premier League side through. Chelsea, who have already earned about £80 million in prize money from the tournament, will now prepare for the final knowing they may have to replace one of their most influential players.
