Ahead of Aston Villa, get the most recent Chelsea news, including details on Moises Caicedo, Mykhailo Mudryk, and Benoit Badiashile

Aston Villa’s loss in Europe last night will give Chelsea some motivation as they start the countdown to matchday.

Legia Warsaw defeated Unai Emery’s team 3-2 in Poland; as a result, Unai Emery’s team now needs to recover from its defeat and tiresome performance before visiting Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

It may provide some solace for Mauricio Pochettino as he battles with a still severely depleted squad of players.

For his team’s matchup with Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday, Mauricio Pochettino is expected to be without a long list of players.
The situation for the head coach hasn’t gotten much better since the Blues’ trip to Bournemouth last week, when 12 players were absent.

Unexpectedly missing from the squad, Moises Caicedo was unable to participate in the 0-0 draw after suffering an injury while representing Ecuador on the international stage.

This week, he hasn’t trained with his teammates, which has some of the fanbase in a panic.

Although Pochettino was vague about the possibilities, there is a chance he could make a comeback this weekend.

“Moi [Caicedo] needs to be evaluated tomorrow; up until today, he had been working out alone rather than with the team.
Noni Madueke was also disqualified from the match against the Cherries.
After his overseas service, he returned with a ache.

Palmer is contrasted with Madison.

Ahead of Chelsea’s matchup with Aston Villa this weekend, Joe Cole has compared Cole Palmer to James Maddison and Jack Grealish.

Palmer, who transferred from Manchester City to the west Londoners on the final day of the transfer window, has only played twice for Chelsea so far this year, both times as a result of cameos against Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest.

Cole told TNT Sports that the player resembles James Maddison and Jack Grealish.
He has lovely balance and a lovely left foot.
I’ve mostly seen him play off the right while stepping in with his left foot.
Though he could also play as a 10.
He is merely a player who has an impact despite the fact that he can move around freely in the final third.
He is an elite athlete.

Tomorrow, we need to evaluate Moises, Pochettino said.
“Up until today, he was working out in a challenging manner without the team.
To determine if he can participate for Sunday, we must evaluate him tomorrow.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea (and possibly Arsenal) are already aware of how much it will cost to purchase Ivan Toney this summer.

Caicedo is concerned.

Moises Caicedo hasn’t been spotted back in Chelsea training since getting hurt while on international duty, raising concerns that he won’t be present and available for Sunday’s game against Aston Villa.

He was seen with strapping on his leg after receiving a blow to the knee while serving with Ecuador, something he had never done before.

Even though we are almost certain to learn more about this later, we are very concerned.
