Is Moises Caicedo injured? Chelsea midfielder drops major team news hint after training update

Caicedo felt discomfort after Manchester United win but manager Alonso expects to assess him Saturday; midfielder's social media activity suggests he may be fit for Sunderland.

Moises Caicedo emerged as a doubt for Chelsea's Premier League trip to Sunderland after missing training during the week following discomfort sustained in last weekend's 2-0 win over Manchester United. Manager Xabi Alonso told reporters on Friday that the midfielder had "little problems" and described it as "a discomfort, more than his calf," adding that the club would check on his status on Saturday.

Chelsea withheld footage from their final training session before the journey to the Stadium of Light, but supporters noticed Caicedo posted a matchday graphic to his Instagram Stories on Saturday, which many interpreted as a strong hint that he would be available for selection. The team sheet will be announced at 12:45pm GMT ahead of the 2pm kick-off.
