In preparation for Saturday's Premier League match against Brighton, Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has chosen Edouard Mendy above Kepa Arrizabalaga as his current first choice goalkeeper.
Kepa has received harsh criticism for his recent outings in which he has been found to commit some extremely "poor errors," and this was evident in the Blues' 2-0 Champions League loss to Real Madrid on Wednesday.
During Lampard's first stint in command at Stamford Bridge, the relationship between the Spain international and the interim manager was tense.
The Englishman had previously preferred Arrizabalaga above Mendy, a Senegal international, and even Willy Caballero.
Lampard said there is now no justification to replace the Spaniard as the Blues' starting goalkeeper.
“I don’t see any reason to do anything different at the moment,” Lampard told his pre match press conference while discussing Chelsea’s goalkeeper situation.
On Saturday in the early afternoon, Frank Lampard's team will play host to Brighton Hove Albion at Stamford Bridge.
Lampard would want a successful outcome since the Blues are having a difficult time in the Premier League thus far.
Despite the persistent complaints, it looks like Kepa Arrizabalaga will start in goal for Chelsea.
