Noni Madueke: It is difficult for us — Maresca laments Chelsea star's move to Arsenal
Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca reacted to Noni Madueke's imminent move to Arsenal.
“Yes, for sure, Moises is such an important player for us. This morning he couldn't take part in the training session fully but we hope he can take part on Sunday,” Maresca said.
Caicedo has been a key part of Chelsea’s campaign at the Club World Cup, starting four of their six games in the tournament. His ball-winning abilities and composure in midfield will be vital as the Blues look to counter PSG’s technically gifted midfield trio.
Chelsea eyes second trophy
The final against PSG presents a golden opportunity for Chelsea to wrap up the 2024/25 season with a second piece of silverware, following their earlier success in the EFL Cup.
With top names like Enzo Fernandez, Christopher Nkunku, and captain Reece James all expected to feature, the return of Caicedo could tilt the balance in the Premier League side’s favour.
