Gianfranco Zola: Why Moises Caicedo wears Chelsea's iconic number 25 shirt
Moises Caicedo is beginning to look like the player Chelsea splashed out millions of pounds to sign last summer.
However, Marcus Rashford, Jordan Henderson, Chelsea trio of Ben Chilwell, Reece James, and Raheem Sterling are some of the big names missing.
Nigeria miss out on Eberechi Eze
Coach Finidi George would have been looking to convince Eberechi Eze to switch international allegiance from England to Nigeria.
The Crystal Palace star was instrumental in helping the Eagles finish tenth in the league, contributing 11 goals and four assists.
However, the former Enyimba boss has been dealt a big blow with Eze’s call-up to the England squad for the EURO 2024.
After Karim Adeyemi was left out by Germany, Michael Olise by France, and Joshua Zirkzee by the Netherlands, fans of the Super Eagles expected that Eze might also be left out by England – giving a possibility for the former QPR star to play for Nigeria.
