But now the Chelsea boss is sweating over his fitness ahead of Sunday’s final against Paris Saint-Germain or Real Madrid.
Caicedo twisted his ankle when battling for the ball in a nasty-looking incident.
He received treatment but was able to complete the match though he is now a doubt for the final.
Maresca was asked about his potential availability but could not give a definitive answer.
He said: “I told Caicedo he has to do everything to be on the pitch on Sunday.
“We will see.”
Chelsea have multiple midfield options available with Andrey Santos and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall both coming off the bench against Fluminense.
Joao Pedro was the hero for Chelsea with two terrific goals either side of half-time on his first start for the club.

And although Chelsea survived a penalty scare and had to clear a shot off the line, they never looked in danger of being knocked out.
