Moises Caicedo has left the door open to a Real Madrid transfer, but was also keen to focus on his immediate Chelsea future. The Blues midfielder has joined Enzo Fernandez in responding to a possible move to the Spanish capital with Caicedo specifically asked if he can "imagine himself in white" during an interview with AS.

While smiling, as claimed by the Spanish outlet, he said: "You never know in football, don't you think? I have a contract with Chelsea now. The truth is, I haven't honestly thought about another club, about leaving London, but well, in the end, you never know in football.

"All I want is to enjoy myself. I have a contract and I want to keep playing as long as God allows. After that, we'll see what happens. I have a contract, but we'll see what the future holds. Let's see what surprises await us."

Caicedo is contracted to the west Londoners for the next five years which makes any immediate exit a challenging one to foresee.

Fernandez has also spoke about potentially joining Real in the future following other comments that casted doubt over his long-term future at Stamford Bridge.

Liam Rosenior subsequently confirmed on Friday that he would not feature in Chelsea's next two games, against Port Vale in the FA Cup and Manchester City in the Premier League.

He said: "We spoke with Enzo an hour ago. As a football club, with me as part of that process, we've made a decision. He won't be available for tomorrow's game and he won't be available for Manchester City on Sunday.

"I think for Enzo, it's disappointing to speak in that way. What I will say about Enzo is in terms of him as a character, as a person, I've got no bad words to say about him. But I think a line was crossed in terms of our culture and what we want to build. So we had to make a sanction and that was a decision we've made."

Marc Cucurella also made some controversial comments during the two-week domestic pause with the Spaniard admitting he would not have sacked Enzo Maresca. Rosenior later confirmed he had also spoken with Cucurella, but that he would be available for the next two games, barring injury.

Disciplinary action was not the only topic discussed at Rosenior's press conference with the Blues boss on hand to issue injury updates on four players.

Rosenior said: "He [James] is getting along really well, but not ready yet. Trevoh's [Chalobah] progressing really, really well as well. Levi [Colwill], it's really good to have him back in full training, but it's going to take a few more weeks.

"He needs to tick those boxes. But no, we've got a pretty fresh group. Estevao, Jamie Gittens is back, which is really positive going into the run."
