Chelsea will be without four players for their upcoming clash with Hull City, with manager Xabi Alonso confirming that Moisés Caicedo, Marco Palestra, Jordan Henderson and Emmanuel Emegha remain unavailable.
The quartet will miss the next game as Chelsea continue to manage their fitness carefully. Alonso has made it clear that the club will take no risks with the players, particularly those who are still working their way back to full fitness.
Caicedo’s absence will be a notable blow for Chelsea, with the Ecuadorian midfielder having established himself as one of the key players in the squad. His ability to provide defensive protection and drive the team forward makes him an important part of Alonso’s plans.
Palestra, Henderson and Emegha will also remain on the sidelines, meaning Alonso will have to work with the players currently available as Chelsea prepare for Hull City.
