‼️Caicedo’s long-term cover is Dário Essugo, who has just joined from Sporting. Essugo is inexperienced and has only made two substitute appearances for his new side.

It would be a huge gamble for Maresca to select the combative 20-year-old against Palmeiras.

Andrey Santos is viewed as a No 8 and is learning Enzo Maresca’s style.

‼️Maresca is likely to find other ways to compensate for losing his best tackler [Caicedo].

The likeliest solution seems to be shifting Fernández into a deeper role.

🗣Reece James:

" Joao Pedro? Playing against him he’s a handful. He’s had me sent off once before. He’s an amazing player. He’s been in one or two sessions so far, but straight away you can see his quality. So far he looks good and he looks pretty sharp."

"It’s difficult pitches, a difficult climate. The ball goes 100 feet in the air and it bounces one metre up. It's not what we're used to."

"I feel you get a lot leggier quicker, playing on pitches that are not so good. It's not just for us, it's for everyone involved in the competition."

"For the fans, for the people watching, it would be better quality if the pitches were more acclimatised for us."

Chelsea, Newcastle and Man Utd still hold interest in Kudus. West Ham would do business for £60m, but were unimpressed with Spurs’s proposal of £50m + £5m to be paid over 5 years.
