Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has been dropped to the bench for Wednesday s Premier League clash with Tottenham at Stamford Bridge after refusing to be substituted in Sunday s EFL Cup final defeat to Manchester City.
Kepa twice required treatment during extra time at Wembley, with Willy Caballero City s shoot-out hero in the 2016 final prepared to come on.
Sarri appeared to be furious as the world s most expensive keeper defied his order to come off, with Caballero left confused on the sidelines during a long delay.
The Chelsea boss explained in his post-match news conference that it was a misunderstanding , saying he understood the apparent injury to Kepa was more serious than the Spaniard felt.
Sarri reiterated in Chelsea s statement that there w…
According to , Leeds United’s bid for Raphinha has been accepted by Rennes. The Premier League club will pay the French side an initial transfer fee of €17 million (£15.4 million) and €6 million (£5.4 million) in add-ons.

Gregorio Manzano wants his Atletico Madrid players to embrace his affinity for the Copa del Rey ahead of their fourth-round tie at Albacete.
Atletico travel to face third-tier club Albacete at Estadio Carlos Belmonte on Thursday, in a competition somewhat marginalised by the demands of league and European football.
Manzano views the Spanish Cup rather differently it is the only major honour he has lifted in a 28-year career as a coach.
The 55-year-old guided Mallorca to Copa del Rey success in 2002/03, and wants his Atletico players to give their all in this season s tournament.
Personally I have great memories of this competition and this is a title that Atletico has been looking to win for a while now, so we are motivated to get as far as we can, Man…

Borussia Dortmund have taken the unusual step of training on a deliberately poor pitch in a bid to improve their Bundesliga standing.
Jurgen Klopp has revealed a novel approach to addressing Borussia Dortmund s Bundesliga struggles he is making them train on a deliberately sub-standard pitch.
The 2011 and 2012 German champions have endured a tough season domestically, though back-to-back wins over Freiburg and Mainz have lifted them out of the bottom three.
Next up is Friday s trip to rock-bottom Stuttgart, where a win would propel Klopp s charges up to 10th, but the playing surface at the Mercedes-Benz Arena is in a poor state.
With that in mind, Klopp has had his team train on a difficult surface this week, which groundsman Willi Droste has ordered sho…

The wait for Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 was a long one – far longer than most would have anticipated, in fact – and though the action-adventure title didn’t pull up trees with its critical reception the way some would have hoped it would, it has seen more than its fair share of praise from critics and audiences like. To highlight some of the former, Microsoft has released an accolades trailer. Check it out below.
Developer Ninja Theory has said little about what it has planned for Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 now that the game is out, though earlier this month, the developer released a patch with minor tweaks and fixes. Reports have claimed that the studio’s next project has already been greenlit by Microsoft.

According to a recent report from SportBild, Atalanta defender Robin Gosens has revealed that he is interested in playing in the German Bundesliga one day. The German has been with Atalanta since back in 2017, and started his official professional career over in the Netherlands. Unfortunately he has never had the chance or opportunity to play with a club in his homeland, but it would appear as if he wants that to change sooner rather than later.
Alas, despite his desires, Borussia Dortmund aren’t actually believed to be interested in signing Gosens – contrary to alternative reports as of late. They took him on trial several years ago, but didn’t end up signing him to their books.
Regardless of whether or not Gosens gets the move in the summer transfer window or be…

Starting with the hosts, while Chelsea might have been disappointed to have entered November s international break with a 1-1 draw at home against Burnley, the Blues came bouncing back over the weekend. Laying down what was a real marker on Saturday lunchtime, Thomas Tuchel s men stormed their way to a 3-0 romp away at Leicester and the mood in their camp appears to be at a red-hot high. Tipped as a leading pick in the Premier League title chase this season, the defending European champions are unbeaten in each of their last nine matchups across all formats…
