  "account": "Moises Caicedo will not be part of Chelsea's lineup for their upcoming Premier League match against Sunderland. The Ecuadorian player has been dealing with discomfort since October 31, when he assisted Chelsea to a 2-0 victory over Manchester United. Manager Xabi Alonso disclosed this during a pre-match news conference.\n\nChelsea's injury situation is complex, with goalkeeper Emiliano Dibu Martinez possibly returning from a broken jaw and concussion sustained against Everton. Additionally, Jorrel Hato will be absent due to injury, alongside Reece James and Maxence Lacroix, who are expected to miss a considerable amount of time due to long-term injuries.\n\nCaicedo, who has been a dependable player for Chelsea, has made 55 appearances in the 2025-26 season. After overcoming injuries in his first two years with the club, he struggled to regain his consistency this season. He started the current campaign with an injury but is now striving to establish the stability he once exhibited. Among the team heading to Sunderland is the 16-year-old Mahdi Nicoll-Jazuli, who made his debut in central midfield in September and will fill in for Caicedo if needed.",
