Joao Pedro was one of three players who missed part of Chelsea’s training session ahead of their Premier League match against Brentford on Friday. The Brazilian forward has been a key performer this season, scoring three goals in five appearances and providing three assists. He made a significant impact in a recent game by scoring a late equalizer against Hull City at Stamford Bridge. Sky Sports News covered part of Chelsea’s training session on Tuesday, during which Pedro was absent. Alongside him, Reece James and Moises Caicedo also did not participate. However, two new signings, Marco Palisa and Dean Henderson, were present, suggesting they may be close to making their debuts for the club. Reece James has been a regular in central midfield this season, playing the full 90 minutes in three of Chelsea’s four league games so far. He remained injury-free in the recent match against Hull. Meanwhile, Moises Caicedo has yet to make a starting appearance this term. He missed the opening game against Fulham but came on as a substitute in the following match against Brighton. However, he was forced off after just 14 minutes due to an injury and has not played since. Caicedo sat out the matches against Arsenal and Leeds, and his fitness remains uncertain. Chelsea manager Graham Potter recently addressed Caicedo’s situation during his pre-match press conference ahead of the game against Hull. He expressed cautious optimism about the midfielder’s recovery but emphasized that there was no rush to bring him back. “Not yet, we’ll see for Brentford,” Potter said. “We’re not at a moment to take risks with him. Not yet; we are not yet.” This indicates that the team is prioritizing caution to ensure Caicedo is fully fit before returning to action.
