The Ecuadorian midfielder did not train fully with his team-mates during Friday’s training session. With Blues boss Enzo Maresca hopeful his star player will be fit to play.

“Yes, of course Moises is an important player for us. This morning he was not able to train fully, but we hope he can play on Sunday,” Maresca said. 

Meanwhile, midfielder Romeo Lavia, who missed the last two matches due to a muscle strain. Is likely to miss the final as he was unable to train on Friday.

A combination of hard-fought victories and a somewhat fortunate tournament pathway after the group phase has seen the unfancied Blues reach the inaugural Club World Cup final in the United States, and now Enzo Maresca’s budding squad will face the ultimate test of their credentials.

But where there is Moises Caicedo, there is hope. Quite simply, the midfield destroyer offers Chelsea’s best chance of shutting down the finest central trio on the planet at the moment and pulling off what would be an incredible upset, but an untimely injury means the Premier League giants will be sweating on his fitness right up until the whistle.
