Is Chelsea's injury crisis about to get worse?! Fitness updates on Mykhailo Mudryk and Moises Caicedo

  • Mudryk uncertain for Burnley clash
  • Caicedo declared fit
  • Pochettino dealing with a mini-injury crisis

WHAT HAPPENED? According to Evening Standard, Ukranian forward Mudryk remains a major doubt for Chelsea's upcoming Premier League fixture as his condition is being monitored by the club's medical team. Mudryk broke his Chelsea duck with the opener against Fulham. His first Blues goal since his £89 million ($107m) transfer deal from Shakhtar Donetsk but had to be taken off at half-time with a quad injury.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: However, Moises Caicedo has been declared fit after he successfully recovered from the bruises that he had picked up earlier in the season. The midfielder's fitness is a much-needed boost for manager Mauricio Pochettino who has several players sidelined with Ben Chilwell being the latest to join the treatment room with a long-term hamstring injury.
