The English man has made his decision on who gets to start from the goalpost in the second half of the season.
Graham Potter has a long term contract with Chelsea and isn’t under pressure to deliver but to last long at the top, Potter understands that he must start showing signs of progress from the early stage.
The former Brighton boss left his place at the American Express Stadium to take over at Stamford Bridge as the manager but after a brilliant start, the manager has actually seen his side lose more games in their past 8 matches.
Chelsea saw the arrival of Graham Potter as a turning point for both Edouard Mendy and Kepa who used to be the number 1 before he lost it to Mendy.
But things took a sudden turn when Potter arrived Chelsea and picked Kepa ahead of Mendy, with the Spaniard already rewarded the trust with man of the match awards.
With this in mind, Graham Potter is keen on keeping Mendy on bench for a longer time while Kepa makes a return from injury after missing the last games before the World Cup break in search for form.
