Chelsea suffer £100m blow as top midfielder is ruled out of Leeds trip

Caicedo was shown a straight red card in the first-half of Sunday’s fiery North London derby for a studs-first challenge on Mikel Merino.

The Chelsea midfielder was initially booked but had that yellow card upgraded after a VAR check, forcing his side to play 50 minutes of a 1-1 against title favourites Arsenal with 10 men.

FA rules state Caicedo, who joined Chelsea for £100 million in 2023, will receive an automatic three-game ban for violent conduct following the red card, the first of which will be served on Wednesday.

The Ecuador international’s absence is a major blow, given he has been one of the Premier League’s best midfielders this season.
