RFEF chief Molina: Chelsea keeper Kepa still has 3 months to make Euros

Spanish Federation sports director José Francisco Molina insists Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga can keep his place in the La Roja squad.

Kepa was back for Chelsea in last night's FA Cup victory over Liverpool, though his absence from the starting XI has raised concerns about his place in Spain's Euros squad this summer.

Molina said of the former Athletic Bilbao No1: "I can send my support from here, but the one who decides on the National Team list is Luis Enrique. Losing your place is not the best news for a goalkeeper, but there are still three months left for the Euros."

Kepa has been competing with Manchester United keeper David de Gea for a place in Enrique's XI and Molina added: "I can only say that they are two great goalkeepers and that there are still three months left for the European Championship, and one hundred days are an eternity in football.

"There is time for things to change."
