Willy Caballero has spoken out in defence of under-fire Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga and said he wants him to stay at Stamford Bridge.

Veteran stopper Caballero is expected to start in between the sticks for Saturday’s FA Cup final against Arsenal, with Frank Lampard appearing to losing faith in the Spain international.

However, the Argentinian has backed his teammate regardless.

“Of course I hope he stays,’ Caballero told The Daily Express.

“I have known him for two years. Last season was very good for him. This season there were some other things happening, but last year was fantastic.

“He is still the number one goalkeeper for Spain, and is a great goalkeeper.

“We have a great relationship – first of all, because we speak the same language.

‘We work together well in training. It was the second time that Frank left him out, but in terms of our relationship he has been very good.

“He has been behind me, helped me with everything in the games that I have played.

“That’s all I can say about Kepa. He has shown me and all of us a great face, even in the worst moments for him. That is so professional from him.

“The way that he worked during those weeks and in the last week, he was excellent.”

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

Image
http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
