Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has barred Kepa Arrizabalaga from training with the rest of the first team, despite the goalkeeper reporting for pre-season duties.
Kepa joined Chelsea in 2018 for a then-world-record fee of £71.6 million (€80 million) from Athletic Bilbao, signing a seven-year contract with the club. However, his performances have been inconsistent, leading to criticism from fans and pundits alike.
In the 2021-2022 season, Kepa was loaned to Real Madrid, where he made 14 appearances for the Spanish giants.
Maresca's decision to isolate Kepa from the rest of the squad may indicate a shift in the team's goalkeeping hierarchy, with other options potentially vying for the starting spot. Kepa's future at Chelsea remains uncertain, with rumors linking him to potential moves elsewhere.
