Xabi Alonso has provided an update on Moises Caicedo and Marco Palestra ahead of Chelsea's clash against Leeds United in the Carabao Cup third round. The Blues are set to be without a few big names when they face Daniel Farke's side at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.
Speaking to reporters at Cobham training ground on Tuesday afternoon, Alonso said: "Not yet. They're still not ready to go. It's not the moment to take too early a risk. We'll go game by game with them, but it's too early."
