Caicedo feeling drained by the congested match schedule
Moisés Caicedo has become an integral part of Chelsea, logging huge minutes week after week, and he is now simply exhausted by the relentless pace.
Details: According to BBC Sport, the Ecuadorian midfielder has told those close to him and his family that he feels worn out by his demanding playing schedule. FifPro data indicates he is suffering from an “uneven workload.”
However, he will miss the upcoming match anyway due to the red card he received in the game against Arsenal.
This season, he has already made 13 appearances, spending 1,389 minutes on the pitch. He has scored four goals and provided one assist.
Reminder: One of the most intriguing storylines ahead of this clash is whether 23-year-old Chelsea star Cole Palmer will be fit to feature for the Blues. Head coach Enzo Maresca has shed light on the situation.
