Moises Caicedo is wearing a mask for Chelsea after taking a blow to his cheek in last weekend's defeat to Newcastle United, football.london understands. The midfielder joins a long list of players for the club who have sported the facial protection.
Just two weeks after winning both of Chelsea's player of the season awards, Caicedo had to shield himself from injury at Stamford Bridge after an incident at Newcastle. Caicedo played the full match at St James' Park.
He warmed up with a mask on Friday night having not been seen wearing one in training at Cobham throughout the week. He had it fitted ahead of the game.
The injury was not seen to be serious enough to keep him out. Caicedo has been an ever-present for Chelsea under Enzo Maresca this season, playing and starting every league game so far.
