Four Chelsea players to miss Hull clash as Alonso gives latest updates on Caicedo and Palestra

Xabi Alonso has confirmed Moises Caicedo and Marco Palestra will remain unavailable for Chelsea’s Premier League clash with Hull City.

Palestra is yet to play for Chelsea this season while Caicedo was forced off against Brighton on what was his return from injury.

“Not yet,” Alonso said on Caicedo. “We’ll see for Brentford. We’re not at a moment to take risks with him.”

Jordan Henderson and Emmanuel Emegha also remain sidelined while they recover from their respective injury problems.

“Not tomorrow,” Alonso said on the duo. “We hope they can be for Brentford, but we’ll see.”
