Plays first preseason minutes
Caicedo played his first preseason minutes for Chelsea in Wednesday's friendly against Juventus, the club announced.
Analysis: Caicedo comes into the new season as the undisputed engine of Chelsea's midfield after another strong campaign, starting 32 Premier League matches while piling up three goals, 87 tackles and 59 interceptions, a tireless defensive presence who has also grown more comfortable pushing forward into attack. Ecuador's round of 32 exit at the World Cup means he is back with the group at a reasonably early stage of preseason under coach Xabi Alonso, and he's set to remain a fixture in the lineup once the campaign kicks off. Caicedo is expected to keep sharpening his match fitness as preseason continues.
Joins Chelsea's tour in Sydney
Caicedo has joined Chelsea's squad in Sydney for the club's preseason tour, according to the club.
Analysis: Caicedo captained Ecuador at the World Cup, finishing the tournament with four shots and nine chances created going forward while contributing nine tackles, four interceptions, four clearances and one block defensively across four matches before elimination in the round of 32 against co-hosts Mexico. After a short break following the tournament, his arrival in Sydney now shifts the focus to preseason preparations under new coach Xabi Alonso as Chelsea's tour continues.
