Chelsea and Senegal star Edouard Mendy has been described as the "weak link" for his national team by Roy Keane ahead of their round of 16 World Cup clash with England. It comes amid concerns over the goalkeeper's recent form for both club and country.
The past few seasons has seen Mendy become the number one choice at Stamford Bridge, however this campaign has seen a battle with Kepa Arrizabalaga. The World Cup offers a chance for the shotstopper to find his form once again, but an error against the Netherlands in the group stage has brought up questions over his place once again.
Despite those doubts, manager Aliou Cisse has given the 30-year-old his full backing: "Edouard is doing very well, he has a steel resolve. We chatted about the game. Edouard's qualities speak for themselves. He has had highs and lows but he has my blind trust. He will be on the pitch."
