'Ready to go': Xabi Alonso confirms huge Chelsea injury boost

Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso has confirmed a huge injury boost ahead of the Premier League clash against Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues have had an average start to the campaign and have picked up only seven points after five games.

They are winless in the last three matches and will be aiming to end the streak against the Cherries at home tomorrow.

Ahead of the game, Alonso has confirmed a huge boost with the return of Caicedo, who had been out with a calf problem in the early weeks.

Speaking in today's press conference, Alonso said: "Yes, he’s ready to go. We have used the time with Moises to get him back fit. He’s been training good."

Chelsea started the campaign brilliantly with six points in two matches, but have since struggled to find consistency with one point in three games.

The international break came at the right time for the Blues, given they will now have the services of Caicedo to rely upon for the season restart.
