CHELSEA MANAGER MAURIZIO Sarri has dropped his number one goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga to the bench for tonight’s Premier League meeting with Tottenham.
The 24-year-old caused considerable controversy on Sunday when he refused to be substituted for Willy Caballero ahead of the Carabao Cup penalty shoot-out against Manchester City.
The Spaniard had been struggling with cramp throughout extra-time, with his decision to defy Sarri’s instruction causing the Italian visible frustration on the touchline.
Caballero has been named to start for tonight’s game against Spurs, with Kepa reduced to a place amongst the substitutes at Stamford Bridge.
