What happened. Chelsea could be without up to four players for their Premier League home opener against Brighton, with Moises Caicedo, Marco Palestra, Jordan Henderson, and others facing fitness doubts.

Caicedo missed the first two matches due to a minor training injury.
Henderson has a broken wrist and hasn't played for Chelsea yet.
Alonso hopes Caicedo can train Friday but no decision made.

“He is hopefully training [on Friday]. And we are hopeful that he can be involved [against Brighton].”
— Xabi Alonso

Chelsea's depth will be tested early in the season with several key players sidelined.
