Kepa Vs Mendy: Tuchel Names Chelsea’s Number One Goalkeeper

Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel has said that Eduoard Mendy remains the club’s number one goalkeeper.

This is despite placing him on the bench for Kepa Arrizabalaga in the club’s game against Newcastle last night.

Kepa manned the post in the 2-0 win which makes it two clean sheets he has recorded consecutively.

“Edou is the number one, this is clear,” Tuchel told Sky Sports. “It was clear before the game and it stays like this.

“I am happy Kepa continued with a second clean sheet. It was the moment to let him feel the rhythm and build up his confidence.

“It was clear before that we hoped for the best performance, but Edou will be in goal from now on as he recovered physically and mentally and right now, he is the number one.”
