Chelsea assistant Willy Caballero has admitted he’s very “frustrated” Moises Caicedo will miss Sunday’s game against Manchester City.
Caciedo will be suspended for the trip to the Etihad after getting booked against the Cherries, as the Blues dropped more points.
Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez scored for Chelsea, but the Blues conceded twice from long throws as they were held to a 2-2 draw and dropped more points in the race for Champions League football.
Willy Caballero frustrated by Moises Caicedo suspension
As expected Enzo Maresca made a number of changes to the side which lost against Aston Villa, with Liam Delap, Malo Gusto, Wesley Fofana, Josh Acheampong and Estevao handed starts.
Caicedo as usual was named in the line-up, and literally picked up a booking for the first foul in the game, and Caballero admitted he was frustrated by that.

“Very frustrated because it was the first foul on the game and it was close to us, and we looked at the foul more than once and it doesn’t look like a yellow,” he told his post-match press conference.
“But it’s done now so we’re going to miss a very important player but we need to, from now on, start to think who will be the player that replaces Moi.
“And of course it’s a big loss but same as when we miss Cole, when we miss Liam [Delap], when we miss any player because all of them are very important for us.”
Chelsea could be boosted by Marc Cucurella return
Despite the blow of losing Caicedo, Chelsea could be handed a boost with the return of left back Marc Cucurella.
