Moisés Caicedo: Chelsea alert – Struggling with fitness, says he'll risk himself for Ecuador

Caicedo admits he's still struggling with fitness issues while on international duty with Ecuador, having only recently returned from a calf injury.

Chelsea midfielder Moisés Caicedo has only recently worked his way back from a calf injury that sidelined him for several weeks and caused a setback during his comeback. He returned to the starting line-up in October but is still managing physical discomfort.

While away with Ecuador for friendlies against Costa Rica and Bolivia, the 25-year-old revealed he's dealing with ongoing fitness problems. "I'm a little… fine, a bit tired, having a few problems, but well, I'm here," he told local reporters. He emphasized his commitment to his national team despite the effort required to play.

Before Chelsea's match against Sunderland, manager Xabi Alonso confirmed Caicedo had missed training due to discomfort following the win over Manchester United—a separate issue from his previous calf injury. The midfielder's willingness to push through physical problems while on international duty raises concerns about potential further setbacks.
