On 22 December 2019, it was reported that Primera B de Chile side Cobreloa hired to Caballero.[1][2] He made his debut on 13 January 2020 in a 2–0 home loss against Deportes Temuco. On 1 March, he scored his first goal in a 3–1 win to San Marcos de Arica.[3][4]

On 9 March 2020, Caballero failed a penalty against A.C. Barnechea once his shoot was saved by German keeper Robert Moewes in a 2–2 away draw played in Barnechea Municipal Stadium.[5] Then, Caballero rebuked Moewes[5] as a result of his impotence whilst the German goalkeeper shouted him his failure in his face.[5]

He netted his second goal on 6 January 2021 in a 6–0 home thrash over Deportes Valdivia,[6][7] being his score the first one of the game.
