Racking up those frequent flyer miles! (Geovany Quenda\u2019s expected arrival should boost those numbers 30, though I imagine some might head home after we\u2019re done in Australia.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Both Caicedo and Jackson were involved in the first knockout stage of the World Cup, but both were eliminated at that point, with Ecuador losing to Mexico and Senegal somehow contriving to throw away a two-goal lead late on against Belgium.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">While obviously Caicedo was expected to join up with the tour at the earlier possibility, Jackson\u2019s arrival is a bit more intriguing since he\u2019s been linked with a potential exit, especially after it became clear that Danny Welbeck will be signing (should be official any minute now). Jackson has been linked with Aston Villa, mainly, but maybe there could be room for him yet in the squad?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As confirmed by the official Chelsea website, and also shown on the social media feeds, Mois\u00e9s Caicedo and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":720636,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[29456,238347,218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-720635","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-chelsea-fc-friendlies","tag-chelsea-fc-players","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/720635","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=720635"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/720635\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/720636"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=720635"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=720635"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=720635"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
