Chelsea manager Graham Potter has confirmed that Kepa Arrizabalaga won't play for Chelsea again until after the World Cup.
The goalkeeper picked up a foot issue in the Blues' 4-1 defeat at Brighton last weekend and was substituted at half time as Potter suffered his first defeat in charge.
The Spaniard will now miss Chelsea's next two games however, with his hopes for a Spain recall hanging by a thread as he becomes the latest star on the treatment table with the Qatar tournament now just over two weeks away.

'Kepa, no,' Potter said via The Athletic when asked on Kepa, who the 47-year-old made number one in place of Edouard Mendy when he was appointed.
