EPL: Xabi Alonso Reveals Four Chelsea Players Will Miss Hull City Clash

Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso has confirmed that four players will miss Saturday’s Premier League clash against Hull City.

The Blues suffered their first defeat of the season against Arsenal last weekend and will now look to return to winning ways.

Chelsea will face a Hull side that has made an impressive start to the season and remains the only team yet to concede a goal.

Moises Caicedo, Marco Palestra, Jordan Henderson and Emmanuel Emegha will all be unavailable for the match.

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

Henderson and Emegha are also recovering from their respective injuries and will miss the Hull game.
