What happened. Moises Caicedo is in contention to feature for Chelsea against Hull City after training with the first-team squad following a calf injury. Xabi Alonso is weighing whether to start him, having admitted he rushed the midfielder back too quickly for the win over Brighton last month.
- Alonso will decide with his backroom staff whether Caicedo starts at Stamford Bridge.
- Chelsea have missed the 24-year-old midfielder during his absence.
- Alonso would blame himself if Caicedo suffered a setback on Saturday.
Alonso is expected to give a further update on Caicedo's chances at Friday afternoon's pre-match press conference.
