Rio Ferdinand has instructed Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy to “eradicate” the ever-growing list of errors from his game after an indifferent few weeks.
The Senegalese stopper has endured a difficult start to the new Premier League season - including a string of high profile mistakes coming against Leeds United and West Ham United. Indeed, the latter went unpunished following a shocking clanger by the VAR official in chalking off Maxwel Cornet’s late equaliser.
Blues boss Thomas Tuchel now has a decision over whether to stick with Mendy or indeed reintroduce Spaniard Kepa Arrizabalaga - albeit the former Athletic Club stopper having not cut the most reliable figure between the sticks at Stamford Bridge throughout his career either.
