With the fixtures coming thick and fast during the festive period, it was expected that Mauricio Pochettino would rotate his team for the trip to Molineux.
And the manager has made three changes to the side that defeated Newcastle on penalties in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.
Malo Gusto, Lesley Ugochukwu and Armando Broja come in for Benoit Badiashile, Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez, as the Blues appeared to line-up as a 442.
While Fernandez’s absence was already known about, Caicedo not even making the bench has raised eyebrows and left fans worried that yet another player has fallen foul to injury.
The club’s record signing played the full 90 minutes against the Magpies but reports claim that the defensive midfielder has now fallen ill and did not travel to Molineux.
Pochettino confirmed the news ahead of kick-off, saying: ‘Moises Caicedo has a high fever so he is not involved today.’
Illness is what has also ruled Fernandez out, while it is said that Badiashile has been struggling with a bug but he was named on the bench against Wolves.
Fans will be hoping that Caicedo gets back to full fitness in time for Chelsea’s next game on the 27th December when they take on Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge.
