Ben Chilwell makes fun of Chelsea new boy Moises Caicedo as he ‘can’t hack the ice bath’

Ben Chilwell laughed at Moises Caicedo after Chelsea’s new boy looked rather shy as he entered the Blues’ ice pool.

In a video posted to his Instagram story, Chilwell pointed the camera at the 21-year-old as he stood up shivering in the chilly recovery pool.

The Ecuador international had a smile plastered on his face, but covered part of it with a towel and didn’t dare sink any lower – at least not in the short clip we saw.

Caicedo traded Brighton for Stamford Bridge on Monday in a blockbuster British transfer record £115 million following a transfer drama worthy of the big screen.

Having turned down an advance from Liverpool and signed an eight-year contract in London, it is believed he may have to get used to being submerged in cold water as his career shows no signs of dying out.

Chelsea’s new signing may have cost £115 million, but that’s no protection against the dangers and agonies of icy water every player faces

“Can’t hack the ice bath,” Chilwell captioned his story with a laughing emoji.

It was nice of Chilwell to help integrate his teammate and after a manic period of buying and selling at the club, Chilwell is now one of their longer serving players having joined in 2020.

A torn cruciate ligament ruled him out for most of the 2021-22 season, but last season he made a comeback – albeit in mixed form – and impressed in Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Liverpool on Sunday, when he played a forward left wing. – rear roll.

Chelsea’s next game, where Caicedo could take his Blues bow, is at West Ham on August 20.
