Playing Style
Caicedo usually plays on the right of a midfield pivot as a holding midfielder; his attributes are more defensive, but he can play box-to-box and join counterattacks, and is a good passer who intercepts attacks across the middle, and through 2025 he was often ranked among the best defensive midfielders in the world. He stands 1.78 m and is right-footed, and has played 2,795 minutes this season.
