Once the new season starts and the games begin Edouard Mendy will be ready.
Not just fit and prepared to provide his usual high level of security in goal, ready for anything from the marksmen with the most deadly reputation in the game right now. Resurgent Harry Kane lines up against the Chelsea keeper for Spurs in only the second Premier League game of the season, on August 14, at Stamford Bridge.
New Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez comes to town on September 18 while Manchester City ’s new point man, Erling Haaland, follows on January 2, rested from not going to the World Cup with Norway. Mendy will need to be at his formidable best to keep all three out if Chelsea are to realise their dreams of a sustained title challenge.
