Chelsea boss Potter: Mendy and Kepa? Form will decide

Chelsea boss Graham Potter admitted that he has a choice to make regarding his goalkeepers.

The new manager now has Edouard Mendy fit, with the Senegalese recovering from a knee injury.

However, that means current starter Kepa Arrizabalaga may have to drop out of the team.

Asked about the matter during his press conference, Potter stated: "If you look at what we've got over the next six weeks, it's an incredible schedule. So I am in no rush to label anybody one or two. Firstly, I want to help Kepa enjoy his football and player at a really good level, which I think he did against Crystal Palace. Then I want to help Eddie get fit and ready to play, which he has done really well so far.

"Then we have two goalkeepers and in an ideal world, you let football decide. We have two goalkeepers we really believe in and that is a good situation for us."
