    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The Wolves man was involved in a few similar incidents against Arsenal on the opening weekend. Firstly he appeared to grab Kai Havertz by the throat and later on grabbed striker Gabriel Jesus' bum, which did not please the Brazilian forward at all.

    WHAT NEXT FOR CAICEDO?

    Chelsea will hope that Caicedo doesn't face any lengthy spell away from the pitch after his withdrawal against Wolves. The 22-year-old might now be a doubt for the second leg of Chelsea's Europa Conference League qualifying play-off clash with Servette on Thursday.
