Chelsea fans are desperate to find out the status of Moises Caicedo \u2013 but their manager isn\u2019t giving much away at all.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Moises Caicedo has played just a handful of minutes for Chelsea this season, and fans are obsessed over his return.<\/p>\n

Not only is he a top player, he\u2019s also the exact central midfield force it feels like this team is missing. There\u2019s a growing (perhaps overoptimistic) view that his return instantly levels this team up.<\/p>\n

But we still don\u2019t know when we will see him, and Xabi Alonso\u2019s press conferences aren\u2019t revealing anything more than the bare minimum.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s getting closer and tomorrow we will make the final decision,\u201d in his usual vague manner.<\/p>\n

Caicedo could benefit massively from one more missed game<\/h2>\n

As we wrote earlier in the week, we think Caicedo will sit this one out on the basis that he can then justifiably miss the entire three week international break with Ecuador, allowing a nice long break to get up to speed.<\/p>\n

It might mean sacrificing points tomorrow night, but it\u2019s a risk worth taking if it really means he gets that time off. Having him come into mid-October with effectively zero minutes in his legs could give him a brilliant platform for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n

In other news\u2026<\/h2>\n

Alonso was equally non-specific about the availability of Joao Pedro, who has pulled out of the Brazil squad.<\/a><\/p>\n

Alejandro Garnacho\u2019s loan move to Aston Villa has started about as badly as it possible could have, and we already have fears for next summer.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
