An early yellow card,received just four minutes into the match against Bournemouth,left Ecuadorian Moisés Caicedo unavailable for the first match of the year,when Chelsea visits manchester City on January 4.
His absence represents a serious setback for Enzo Maresca’s scheme ahead of the visit to the team led by Pep Guardiola. The midfielder was reprimanded for a tough tackle and leaves his team in a tough situation to start 2026.
Chelsea, a team that has been a roller coaster of the season, began the game in fifth position in the table, already far from the leader Arsenal and second place, occupied by City.
The performance of Caicedo has been notable during the first half of the season,being the midfielder that gives balance and defensive presence to the team.
