Kepa Arrizabalaga may have played his last game for Chelsea with Frank Lampard reportedly searching for a new goalkeeper before the summer transfer window.
According to Spanish outlet Cope, The Spaniard could be frozen out of the Blues squad for the remainder of the season after Willy Caballero featured in the 2-2 draw at Leicester.
The 25-year-old has been criticised by supporters and pundits during a campaign in which he has conceded 43 goals and kept eight clean sheets.
And Lampard is expected to look for long-term replacements while Caballero deputises for the Spain international

I still repeat, Lampard is not the right coach for Chelsea, he don’t have the philosophy and charisma to win trophy with the choice of his England kids he always put upfront. Kepa is not only Chelsea problem. Roman Empire made a mistake by bringing English coach to Stamford bridge

I have heard this before in a game where a keeper face two shots and goal and conceding two goals Chelsea vs Arsenal. As far benching him the last game, it was just to teach him a lesson and give him some time off to get himself together

When Courtois performance is nose diving, Zidane still trust him and work to get him back to his best. Look how Courtois is now. Lampard should nurture Kepa

These stories make me laugh cos I know for a straight fact that Kepa will easily come back to the side. In fact I think Caballero was a better keeper when he was younger but current Caballero is worse than Kepa but difference is Frank wanted to teach him and Willian a lesson of their places not being set in stone at the club which was portrayed I assume. Unlike Sarri who gave players a free pass just cos they are the best in their position, dont mean Frank will do the same hes a ruthless man when he needs to be....

Clean sheets does not mean a goalkeeper is good, it also depends on the defence, if the defence men are not covering well a keeper must concede goals.

where do u think we would finish with Guardiola using the current squad we have.....remember his first season he had the best team in the premier league and but finished 4th ...u dont have to agree with all that the coach is doing your not with him in training .no hear knows who is playing rubbish in training and who is doing well .....the england pple u are talking about are the only reason chelsea are still in top four ....pple talk about mount all the time but if he isnt playing we have to choose btw pedro and Barkley...they are not that good ....mount plays attacking midfield kova kante and jorginho plays central or defensive mid...and when we use 4231 the person that is best suited behind the striker is mount or Barkley...not kova !! he is a direct replacement for kante or jorginho....if u truly watch Chelsea football style ....we only use kov kante and jorginho if we are playing a difficult team...lampard is smart and knows what hes doing in my opinion ...we are over achieving with this squad we have ...that's the honest truth ......

You know even tho Lampard's appointment at the time it was a bit surprising, he has shown that he has a tactically sound approach to football. He always dominates his matches and create chances all the time. His forth place standing is by no accident at all considering the fact that this is his first season unlike man U's Ole who has had more time than him to work with his boys and is still below Chelsea on the table. Chelsea play outstanding football and the just need a proper goalkeeper and another quality striker and of course tighten up their defence which would surely make them more formidable in the future. I mean i had doubts in his appointment at first but he's shown me he has what it takes to lead this Chelsea team forward. He's doing a really good job which is why he's not been constantly criticized like Ole. Football is not straightforward but he's definitely on the right path.
