Kepa Arrizabalaga Fined by Chelsea Amid Reports of Dressing-Room Split

Chelsea confirmed on Monday that their goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has been fined following the extraordinary scenes at the end of Sunday's Carabao Cup final.

The Blues star appeared to refuse to be substituted by his manager Maurizio Sarri, prompting a furious reaction from the Italian coach.

While Sarri said after the game, which Chelsea lost against Manchester City after a penalty shootout, that the matter was a misunderstanding, the club have since taken disciplinary action against Kepa, fining him and donating the amount to the Chelsea Foundation.

Kepa and Sarri both made follow-up statements on the club's official website.
