Moises Caicedo's Chelsea fitness uncertain ahead of Brentford clash
Summary

Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso is evaluating Moises Caicedo's fitness ahead of the upcoming match against Brentford in the Premier League on Friday. Caicedo has been dealing with a calf injury that has kept him sidelined since a brief appearance against Brighton. Alonso opted against playing him in Saturday's draw with Hull City, stating that Caicedo had not fully recovered. The coach indicated Caicedo might be available, but emphasized the importance of not rushing him back. With the international break approaching, the decision could impact both Caicedo's return and Chelsea's squad depth against a competitive Brentford side.
