Chelsea 4-3 Brighton
What happened. Moises Caicedo was forced off with an injury shortly after coming on as a substitute in Chelsea's 4-3 win over Brighton, and Xabi Alonso confirmed it was a recurrence of a previous problem.
- Caicedo replaced Romeo Lavia in the second half.
- He was helped off and went straight down the tunnel.
- Alonso said his feeling was not the best.
“It wasn't more than last time. He was cautious. His feeling was not the best. It wasn't something new.”
— Xabi Alonso
Caicedo's fitness will be monitored ahead of Chelsea's next matches, with the midfielder already nursing a knock.
