Thomas Tuchel, the manager of Chelsea, has hinted that he would choose to start Kepa Arrizabalaga in lieu of Edouard Mendy.
The Senegal international has drawn flak for a string of mistakes in Chelsea’s first six league games, including one that gave West Ham United the advantage on Saturday.
Then, Mendy made another mistake that almost lost Chelsea three points, but the goal was overturned by VAR, ensuring that Chelsea won 2-1.
Although Kepa was rumored to be leaving Stamford Bridge in the summer, there is presently discussion on whether he should be included in the team given Mendy’s predicament.
When addressing the Spanish goalkeeper, Tuchel told reporters: “Yeah, he attempted [to go]. He tried and considered his options, both of which we knew about. For him and for us, they were unsatisfying. So, he remained.
Chelsea has accumulated 10 points during its first six Premier League games and is currently preparing for their Champions League group stage matchup against Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday.
