Alonso confirmed, "he is ready to go, finally," emphasizing the midfielder's importance to the team following their recent struggles in midfield.

It remains to be seen whether Caicedo will start or be brought on as a substitute, with his performance in a recent friendly against Portsmouth likely playing a role in the decision.
