Premier League Set for Decisive Weekend, Caicedo Commits to Chelsea, Renard Out as Saudi Arabia Coach – As It Happened

Football News

Moisés Caicedo has officially signed an extended contract with Chelsea, signaling his long-term commitment to the club. Meanwhile, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta have shared their insights ahead of their highly anticipated title showdown. Liverpool’s new manager, Arne Slot, also addressed the media in anticipation of Sunday’s Merseyside derby.

Slot provided an update on striker Hugo Ekitike’s injury, revealing that an Achilles tendon issue will sideline the Frenchman for the remainder of the current season and the upcoming World Cup. “He has not undergone surgery yet,” Slot stated. “It’s devastating for him, having just arrived at a new club and making such an immediate impact. He was looking forward to playing against his former club in the Champions League quarter-finals, with so much to anticipate this summer. My primary concern is for him being out for such an extended period, missing out on numerous special moments. However, this is not the first, nor will it be the last, player to experience such setbacks early in their career. There are numerous examples of players who have returned even stronger.”
