Enzo Maresca has revealed that Moises Caicedo was in pain with his ankle injury during Chelsea’s Club World Cup semi-final victory against Fluminense on Tuesday night.
Caicedo, meanwhile, delivered another impressive performance at the heart of Chelsea’s midfield but he may now miss the final after he suffered a twisted ankle in the closing stages of the victory against Fluminense.

‘Moi twisted his ankle,’ Maresca said after the game.
