Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel has not changed his mind about the situation of his goalkeepers. Despite Kepa’s ownership in the last league game against Newcastle, the coach of the blue team made it clear that Mendy is still number 1. The former Athletic goalkeeper, therefore, returns to wait for him on the bench.
“Mendy is number one. It was clear before the last game and it still is. I’m very happy, yes, that Kepa has achieved his second clean sheet in a row”Tuchel explained.
The current Chelsea manager understood that this had been “the moment to let Kepa feel the rhythm and increase his confidence. Not just in the FA Cup game, but also in a home game at Stamford Bridge. We expected the best performance and a clean sheet ”. Tuchel reiterated his message: “From now on, Mendy will be in goal because he recovered physically and mentally. Today is number one”.
