Lampard confirms Kepa’s return to Chelsea line-up for Champions League clash, says “he has been very supportive [of Mendy]”

Kepa Arrizabalaga is back in the line-up for the Krasnodar clash at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.

Frank Lampard has confirmed the goalkeeper rotation with Chelsea already qualified for the last-16.

He told reporters: “Kepa starts. It is about attitude and how you play, his situation now is different with Mendy’s form.

“Kepa is training brilliantly well and acting brilliantly well. I have no qualms about putting him back in.

“He has been very supportive [of Mendy]. I have seen that.

“I watch from afar and he has been supporting him and training well. That’s what I look at. Goalkeepers have to push each other as a group.”
