Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa has warning for Atletico Madrid

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga says they'll be ready for Atletico Madrid.

The first-leg of Chelsea's Champions League round of 16 tie with Atletico will be held next week.

Kepa told El Partidazo de Cope: "We have not started to prepare the Champions League game, but unconsciously you have it in your head.

"A month or two ago I would tell you that Atlético was in great shape, but now we are better than before. I think the tie is going to be even."

On facing Luis Suarez, he added: "I'm not scared, but I hope he doesn't have his day. He has been scoring goals and creating danger for many years. He is a player that we have to tie him short."
