EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Chelsea midfielder Moisés Caicedo hurt his left ankle during second-half injury time in T uesday’s 2-0 win over Fluminense in the semifinals of the Club World Cup.
Caicedo received treatment, returned to the game, then hobbled off as Chelsea finished a man short.
“Moisés, he twisted his ankle,” Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca said. “I told him, because there were just two, three minutes to go, I told him that we could play with 10 players. The important thing is it was not getting worse, because we have a game on Sunday, but he felt that he could try. But he tried and he felt pain. So hopefully he can be fit on Sunday. We see.”
