Frank Lampard has confirmed that Edouard Mendy is officially Chelsea’s number one, which casts new doubts about the future of Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Mendy replaced the Spain international in Tuesday’s Champions League round with Sevilla, keeping a clean sheet in the goalless draw.
Lampard is determined to solve his team’s defensive weaknesses and immediately declared Mendy his first choice.
“From the way he has played in his three games so far, he has played very well,” said the Chelsea manager. “He had a good game today.

“We knew his qualities when he came in. As is, he is (number one), but he’s always at stake.
Lampard also explained his rationale for naming 38-year-old Petr Cech to his 25-man Premier League squad.
He said: “Pete has been training with goalkeepers for a few weeks, he’s transmitting quality.
“We had a space in the team and with this year and Covid it is good to know that he is there if we need him.
Cech is the club’s technical and performance advisor, but he’s also spending time on training ground. (Fake images)
“He’s in shape. He’s still relatively young when he took on his role. If we see him a lot, I don’t know, we’ll see about isolation and Covid.
“It is not made for the romance of what it has done before. It’s not something I would expect to happen, but if we are in crisis, there are few better people to be around than Cech. “
