It has been claimed that Chelsea’s record signing Moises Caicedo is yet to return to training after an injury kept him out of the weekend’s game against Bournemouth.

Journalist Nathan Gissing has stated that he is yet to train this week for the Blues, with there now being just three days until they are back in action again against Aston Villa.

He was spotted wearing strapping on his leg, although it was thought that this would not be a major issue considering he was actually playing against the likes of Lionel Messi at the time.

It could also be believed that he was okay given the fact that he was yet to miss a game through injury since making the move to England and Brighton.

However, less than a month into his career at Stamford Bridge he has already fallen victim to a problem that is plaguing the club at a worrying rate.

The treatment table in West London is the busiest in world football right now, with there not being a week go by where a first team player does not come down with an issue.

Big name stars such as Reece James, Benoit Badiashile, Romeo Lavia and Christopher Nkunku have fallen foul of problems already this season, while Wesley Fofana will likely miss the entire season.

Recurring issues can be a result of numerous factors, with training methods being questioned by a fitness colleague of Trevoh Chalobah who is also out of action.

Losing players at this rate will give Mauricio Pochettino an impossible job of getting the Blues back to the top end of the table.
