New Chelsea manager, Graham Potter, has explained why he prefers to start Kepa Arrizabalaga to the Senegalese, Edouard Mendy.
Mendy has been relegated to the bench at Chelsea since the arrival of Potter to the club.
The gaffer explained that form and consistency determines who starts between Edouard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga for Chelsea.
Potter added that Kepa is the better of the two at the moment, saying he will continue to start him until he gets a conviction to do otherwise.
Recall that Kepa had initially lost his position to the Senegal international.
However, Mendy got injured several matches into the 2022/2023 season and Kepa then got his chance.
“Kepa has done really well. He has been supported fantastically by [Mendy] and [Marcus Bettinelli]. They provide good competition.
“Kepa’s form is really pleasing for everybody, especially him, so it’s nice we have competition in that area. That’s how you get players better.”
