Chelsea midfielder Moisés Caicedo will be suspended for the Blues’ Premier League clash with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday due to yellow card accumulation. The Ecuador international entered the referee’s book just four minutes into Chelsea’s game against Bournemouth after taking down Adrien Truffert on the counter attack. The yellow card was Caicedo’s fifth in the first 19 league games of the season, which earned him a one-match ban. The suspension could not have come at a worse time for Enzo Maresca’s side. The Club World Cup champions take on Manchester City at the weekend in their first match of 2026. Now, they will have to do so without one of the best midfielders in the league. At the start of the month, the 25-year-old had only received two yellow cards in the 2025–26 Premier League campaign. Caicedo then picked up three in the last three matches to close out 2025, entering the referee’s book against Newcastle United, Aston Villa and now, Bournemouth.
