Chelsea keeper Kepa in doubt for EFL Cup final

A hamstring injury has put Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa in doubt for Sunday's Carabao Cup final against Manchester City.

The Spaniard is doubtful for Thursday night's Europa League clash with Malmo, and manager Maurizio Sarri is not convinced he will recover before the weekend.

"We have some problems at the moment," said Sarri.

"We have Zappacosta with fever, we have Pedro with a very strong stomach ache, and then we have a problem with Kepa, with his hamstring."

When asked whether he thought Kepa would be fit for Sunday's match, he added: "I hope so. I am not sure at the moment, but I hope so."
