Chelsea could welcome injured key players back against Arsenal
Chelsea Football Club is evaluating the fitness of midfielder Moises Caicedo ahead of their upcoming Premier League match against Arsenal. Manager Xabi Alonso will make a final decision on his inclusion following a last-minute assessment.
Why it matters
High-profile player availability significantly impacts the competitive balance and betting markets in top-tier professional football.
Chelsea take on Arsenal in the Premier League this weekend , and the Blues could welcome Moises Caicedo back into their squad for the game.
The midfielder is one of the most important players in the Chelsea team and will always start matches when fit. However, the Ecuador star has missed two of Chelsea's three competitive games this season because of injury.
Caicedo played a few minutes in their last match, but he is still being hampered by the same fitness problem. With the Arsenal game approaching, it remains uncertain whether he will be fit enough to get meaningful game time.
The Gunners are one of the teams to beat as they look to retain the league title they won last season. Chelsea will therefore be keen to make headlines by becoming the first team to beat Arsenal this term.
