Chelsea fans ‘can’t wait for Edouard Mendy to return’ after Kepa howler vs Tottenham

On Feb 26, 2023

Chelsea fans are desperate for Edouard Mendy to return after Oliver Skipp fired home for Spurs.

As the two London rivals clashed in the Premier League on Sunday, Chelsea fans couldn’t hold back as they fumed over Kepa Arrizabalaga when he spilt the ball moments before Skipp’s strike.

The Spanish goalkeeper was berated for clumsily spilling Emerson Royal’s low shot, with Enzo Fernandez picking the ball up and making a poor clearance. The ball fell into the path of Skipp who fired home from just outside the 18-yard box, with the ball ricocheting off the crossbar and hitting the back of the net.

@AztrixB99 tweeted: “Mendy saves that shot. Kepa weak hands. Where is Mendy?”

@Tarzaniann wrote: “What happened to Mendy? Kepa is a waste man.”

@lemonandr was adamant that Kepa is nowhere near Mendy’s standard. They said: “Don’t ever tell me Kepa is better than Mendy.”

“Kepa has to save that. Good hit but he’s such a dodgy keeper,” wrote @markgoldbridge.

Skipp quickly fired home after Kepa spilt the ball

On January 7, Chelsea revealed that the Senegalese goalkeeper was forced to have surgery and had been ruled out fo the foreseeable future. The club said: “Goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has undergone an operation on a fractured finger sustained in training this week.

“The 30-year-old will work closely with the club’s medical department during his rehabilitation phase.”
