The summer signing was not involved at Bournemouth.
Caicedo is not in the squad for the away day on the south coast, having picked up a knock while on international duty with Ecuador.‘Caicedo arrived back from international duty with a knock in his knee,’ said Pochettino of the Ecuadorian. ‘We need to assess him in the next few days but he wasn’t available for today, that’s why he not here with the team.’
Ben Chilwell was also a surprise omission from the starting XI for the Blues, although he is on the bench as Pochettino confirmed a change in tactics which gave Mykhailo Mudryk a start. ‘I think we want to play with Mudryk in the position we normally use to play Chilwell,’ Pochettino told Sky Sports. ‘We want to play with a more offensive player, and of course keeping the same back four with Malo Gusto, Thiago Silva, Axel [Disasi] and Levi [Colwill].’Mudryk comes in for Chilwell, with Lesley Ugochukwu earning his first start for the club in midfield in place of Caicedo.
Chelsea team vs Bournemouth: Sanchez, Gusto, Disasi, Thiago Silva, Colwill, Gallagher, Ugochukwu, Sterling, Fernandez, Mudryk, Jackson.
