Chelsea Midfielder Moises Caicedo to Miss Next Match Against Manchester City

Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo will serve a one-match suspension for the Blues’ upcoming Premier League fixture against Manchester City following his latest booking against Bournemouth on Tuesday night.

Caicedo received a yellow card for impeding Truffert as the defender pushed forward down the left flank during an attack. This marks his fifth booking of the season, which automatically triggers a suspension under Premier League rules, as it falls within the first 19 matches of the campaign.

This will be the second time the Ecuadorian midfielder has served a ban this season. Earlier, Caicedo was handed a three-game suspension after receiving a straight red card in the 1–1 draw with Arsenal last month.

Opinion: Caicedo’s absence is a blow for Chelsea, especially against a high-caliber opponent like Manchester City. While his energy and defensive contributions are vital in midfield, the recurring suspensions highlight a need for better discipline on the pitch. For Chelsea fans, it will be interesting to see how the team adapts without one of its key engine-room players in such a crucial fixture.
