🚨🔵 No sign of Moisés Caicedo or Filippo Palestra in Chelsea training today ahead of Sunday’s clash with Arsenal.

Big concern for the Blues. #CFC

🚨 Chelsea are unlikely to bring back their weekly injury updates, which were previously published under Mauricio Pochettino.

The reports revealed who was injured, doubtful, training partially or undergoing rehab — useful for the media, but potentially valuable information for upcoming opponents.

Arsenal get ready 💙

🚨Arsenal were without Cristhian Mosquera and Bruno Guimarães during today’s open training session ahead of Sunday’s showdown with Chelsea.

🚨🔵 Chelsea’s squad rebuild has entered a new phase.

Record-breaking player sales, major investment in the squad and a healthier financial position have left the club very satisfied with the work done this summer.

Now the excuses are gone.

The only question left is: can Chelsea turn all of this into success on the pitch? @NizaarKinsella #CFC

🚨Matt Law on the Lamine Camara collapse:

“Chelsea sources I’ve spoken to cannot remember an instance where a written agreement was reneged upon like this.

No contracts or legally binding documents were signed, so Chelsea have no legal recourse.

The crazy part? Monaco were offered the chance to sign a deal sheet. It wouldn’t have forced them to sell Camara — it simply would’ve bought everyone a few more hours to sort things out.

They still refused.”

🚨🔵 Moisés Caicedo has been training at Cobham throughout the week.

Xabi Alonso is expected to face questions on his fitness ahead of Sunday’s clash with Arsenal — but how much he reveals could be crucial.

The Chelsea boss won’t want to hand Mikel Arteta and Arsenal any unnecessary information.

@AlphaObinna_ Could actually be worth a try Alonso might surprise us with that one.

[Chelsea 360 @Chelsea360HQ]

🚨🔵 Lamine Camara’s move to Chelsea collapsed after Monaco pulled the plug on the deal.

Chelsea will now rely on Moisés Caicedo, Romeo Lavia, Valentín Barco, Jamie Gittens? and Reece James for midfield options.

James is reportedly viewed as a midfielder by Xabi Alonso, while Malo Gusto could also be used there if needed.

🚨Despite Chelsea and Strasbourg missing out on European football this season, BlueCo co-owner Behdad Eghbali was still in Monaco during last week’s European draws.

Sources say Eghbali was there for networking, while remaining heavily involved alongside Chelsea’s sporting directors.

Despite the chaotic ending, the window is still viewed internally as a successful one for Chelsea.

🚨 Xabi Alonso is refusing to reveal whether Moisés Caicedo is fit for Arsenal.

The thinking is that any information Chelsea give away could reach Mikel Arteta. Sources say the level of secrecy at Cobham has increased significantly under Alonso.
