Chelsea’s Arrizabalaga out of Malmo Clash

By Daily Sports on February 21, 2019

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has a hamstring injury and will be absent from the Europa League last-32 second-leg tie against Malmo.

Arrizabalaga, who could also miss Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Manchester City, will be replaced by Willy Caballero or Rob Green.

There are doubts over forward Pedro, who has a stomach ache and full-back Davide Zappacosta, who has a fever.

Under-pressure boss Maurizio Sarri’s side won the first leg 2-1 in Sweden.

The former Napoli manager’s future has been called into question following a poor February in which his side suffered a 6-0 thrashing by Manchester City and were knocked out of the FA Cup by Manchester United.

The Blue plays City for the first silverware of the season at the weekend and then host Tottenham next Wednesday.

Asked if his job depends on the result against Malmo, Sarri said: “We need to win three, four matches in a row. It's the only solution.” (Goal)
