Chelsea head coach Frank Lampard commented on Kepa Arrizabalaga and addressed Tammy Abraham’s injury after the four-goal draw against Arsenal Frank Lampard encouraged Kepa Arrizabalaga to stand up under scrutiny following Chelsea’s wasteful 2-2 Premier League draw against Arsenal on Tuesday.
Talking about the Spanish Numero Uno, Frank Lampard said;
“I know there’s a focus on him at the minute,”
“That’s top-line football. Yeah, with his feet, a couple of times he took too long and nearly gave it away. Sometimes that can change the momentum of a game.
“That’s something he will know, has to look at and we will look at. It’s normal.
“Any player, particularly goalkeepers, people will look at you. That’s when you stand up and show the mettle you’ve got. He is not the only one.
“We are in fourth position, which is seen as pretty good. I know and we know there should be another 10 points on the board at least on performance. All of us need to look at those finer details.”
Lampard said he was unsure about the severity of the injury, which resulted in the striker being helped off at full-time.
“I don’t know. He has got a bang on his ankle. He had ice on it,” the Blues boss said.
“I haven’t spoken to him yet, so I can’t really update you on that.”
