Maurizio Sarri spoke to the media ahead of the Chelsea-Tottenham match, and the subject of the events on Sunday between Kepa Arrizabalaga and the coach. After Kepa refused to be substituted off, Sarri spoke about the fallout, including whether Kepa would be selected for the match:
"I spoke to the goalkeeper and he asked for forgiveness from everyone. We don't want to kill him. I didn't want a keeper with cramps during the penalties. Caballero knows Guardiola's players well. I thought it would be better to have our stopper in optimal condition. I don't know if he will be selected, we need to decided. I think that he'll be fit, he recovered yesterday. I will decide for the group, for the good of all the players. The club decided to fine him, he must accept it. Respect from my players? Did you see the match on Sunday? Now you already know the answer."
