Chelsea boss Lampard urged to recall Kepa for Man Utd clash

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard must recall Kepa Arrizabalaga for tonight's clash with Manchester United.

So says former United and Chelsea goalkeeper Mark Bosnich.

“Personally I would bring him back in, especially if Lampard is pleased with his reaction," the Australian told Sky Sports.

“It's happened to all of us in terms of getting left out of the squad and the most important thing during those training sessions and if you have to play in a reserve game is that your attitude is 100 per cent, because everyone is watching you and how you react.

“He's had a rough time and that happens to the best players and to the best goalkeepers but I really do feel he is the answer in the long term.

“I know a lot of people have disagreed with that, I've seen that recently especially on social media, but people have to understand that players in all types of sport go through bad times and it's the way that you react from those bad times which separates you.

“It is a big game, but I think there's no better way than putting somebody like him back in and I think it will bring the best out of him."
