Alonso on Caicedo fitness, ownership and Neto

Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Hull at Stamford Bridge (kick-off 15:00). Here are the key lines from his news conference: Moises Caicedo is not available for this weekend's match: "Let's see for Brentford , but it's not the moment to take the risk with him. Not yet." Fellow midfielder Jordan Henderson is in the same position, with the 36-year-old not ready to be involved this weekend but Alonso "hopes" he can be for the next game. The Blue boss was asked about a potential change in ownership structure at Stamford Bridge: "I'm not the guy to give you information about those things. I'm very happy with how we have started and how we are working together, aligned and this is all I can say at the moment." Pedro Neto signed a new contract at Chelsea on Friday and Alonso spoke about his adaptation to a wing-back in his system: "For me, he is a winger. You can call him a winger or wing-back because he has many qualities. He can play on the last line and defend on the first line. He has this capacity to do many things. He is good in one-on-ones, he is scoring goals and has a fantastic work rate. He connects very well with players around him." On the off-pitch relationship between Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers: "I would say [it helps] a lot. Even before they were playing together they were so connected. We were following this connection for a few weeks before the transfer happened and Cole was very influential. He played an important role, Morgan as well. We are happy that this happened now." He was asked if he ever had influence on a signing like Palmer did: "Probably, but not as much as Cole!"
