Valencia great Santiago Canizares says Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga deserves his Spain place ahead of David de Gea.

Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea has been axed this week in favour of Kepa.

And Canizares told El Larguero: "Kepa has to win the position, De Gea did not win it and maybe he has lost the confidence of the coach.

"For me De Gea performs more in Manchester than Kepa in Chelsea, and I have in mind the great season finale he has done.

"But in the National Team he has nothing to do, there is important psychological work ahead."
