Post
📰 Caicedo has received eight penalty points and a fine for driving without a licence or insurance.
📌 Key points
⚖️ Caicedo was given eight points at Crawley magistrates' court.
💷 He was fined £1,444.
🚗 The offence dates back to April 2025, near Cobham.
🚫 Four more points would mean a six-month ban.
🩹 A calf injury has limited him to 14 minutes this season.
📝 What happened
⚖️ According to the Daily Mail, Caicedo appeared at Crawley magistrates' court this week and was convicted of driving without a valid licence or insurance. He received eight penalty points and a £1,444 fine.
🚗 He was stopped in April 2025 near Chelsea's Cobham training ground while driving a £160,000 Audi RSQ8, which was seized.
📄 The court ordered him to obtain proper documentation before driving again. Chelsea described the incident at the time as a personal matter.
🩹 The off-field setback comes on top of injury. A persistent calf problem has restricted him to 14 minutes under Xabi Alonso this season, and he was left out of Ecuador's squad to aid his recovery.
📊 By the numbers
• Penalty points: 8 (12 means a six-month ban)
• Fine: £1,444
• Minutes this season: 14
🔭 Why it matters
Caicedo is central to Chelsea's midfield but has barely played this season. Xabi Alonso is hopeful he could return against Bournemouth on 10 October.
Chelsea then face Everton on the 17th and Tottenham on the 24th.
