De Gea rivalry healthy for Spain - Kepa

Kepa Arrizabalaga feels his battle with David de Gea to be Spain's first-choice goalkeeper can only be a good thing for the nation.

Chelsea keeper Kepa has started four of the national team's last five matches, with De Gea returning to the XI for the 4-0 win over the Faroe Islands last month.

De Gea endured a poor World Cup after a disappointing club campaign with Manchester United, but national team boss Robert Moreno recently stated he does not have an undisputed No. 1.
