Some good news (assuming) for our weary squad for this international break, with both Reece James and Mois\u00e9s Caicedo set for a bit of time off rather than having to travel around and keep piling on the wear and tear.<\/p>\n

Reecey did get called up initially by number-one fan Thomas Tuchel, but as confirmed by both the club and The FA earlier today (Monday), our Captain has been withdrawn from the national team. The FA\u2019s decision follows \u201cmedical assessments\u201d<\/a> on the right back, though Chelsea haven\u2019t given any official reason. Presumably (hopefully), it\u2019s just a precautionary move and a bit of much-needed workload maintenance. James did show off a nice scrape on his shin after the Liverpool match, though he seemed no worse for the wear otherwise. Chelsea have been very careful in managing his workload in an effort to keep him healthy and fit for an extended period of time.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve not been as careful in managing Caicedo\u2019s workload \u2014 and in fairness, we haven\u2019t had to be \u2014 but it\u2019s great to see that Ecuador have decided<\/a> to let him to skip out on the October set of fixtures, and their friendlies against Mexico and the USMNT, by not calling him up. Caicedo has been running on fumes and dealing with a few niggles for a while now.<\/p>\n

Time to get some rest, boys!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Some good news (assuming) for our weary squad for this international break, with both Reece James and Mois\u00e9s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":194770,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[49,48,96819,96820,82],"class_list":["post-194769","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-chelsea-fc-injury-news","tag-chelsea-fc-international-duty","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=194769"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194769\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/194770"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=194769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=194769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=194769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
