Journalist Noah Robson reported that Moises Caicedo, a midfielder for Chelsea, experienced discomfort and was observed holding his knee after Friday night’s match at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea progressed to the next round of the EFL Cup with a sole goal scored by Nicolas Jackson, defeating a formidable Brighton team led by Roberto de Zerbi. Despite Caicedo’s painful departure, Chelsea supporters found solace in their team’s victory.
Cole Palmer made an impressive first appearance in the Chelsea jersey, contributing to their triumph. Caicedo’s exit granted Enzo Fernandez a much-needed break, potentially leading to future starts in the number 10 position.
Pochettino selected a midfield duo of Caicedo and Lesley Ugochukwu, both vital assets for Stamford Bridge. However, towards the end of the match, Caicedo was seen visibly distressed, clutching his knee, raising concerns about injuries.
Fans of Chelsea are optimistic that the injury is not severe and hope Caicedo will be ready for the upcoming game against Fulham on Monday night.
