Frank Lampard has revealed Petr Cech will work with Chelsea’s new signing Edouard Mendy and the error-prone Kepa Arrizabalaga as the Blues boss bids to solve his team’s goalkeeping problems.
Former Chelsea ‘keeper Cech has been employed by the west London club as technical and performance advisor since his retirement in 2019.
But the 38-year-old, who finished his playing career at Arsenal, was recently pictured at Chelsea’s Cobham base training alongside Kepa and Lampard’s goalkeeping coach Henrique Hilario.
Lampard confirmed Cech was taking part in some of the training, not as a replacement for Hilario but to add his wealth of experience to the sessions after a troubled spell for Kepa.
Chelsea signed Senegal’s Mendy from French club Rennes earlier this week following Kepa’s mistakes in the team’s opening two Premier League games against Brighton and Liverpool. (Guardian)
