Chelsea midfielder Moise Caicedo sustained an injury to his left ankle during stoppage time in the second half of their 2-0 victory over Fulminence in the Club World Cup semi-finals on Tuesday. Despite the injury, Caicedo received treatment and returned to the pitch, helping Chelsea finish the match with one player short for a short period.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca commented, "Moise twisted his ankle. I told him that with only a few minutes left, we could manage with ten men. The key was that we have another game on Sunday, so it wouldn’t worsen, but he felt he could push through." Chelsea will take on either Real Madrid or Paris Saint-Germain in the final on Sunday.
Fan Take: This news is significant for soccer fans as it highlights the resilience of players like Caicedo, who are willing to risk further injury for their team. Moreover, the upcoming final promises to be a thrilling matchup, underscoring the high stakes and excitement of global soccer competitions.
