Could Onana save Lampard’s Chelsea from puzzling Kepa situation?

The Blues’ number one is out of favour in West London, but is the Ajax shot-stopper a viable replacement in a flawed system?

After missing out on selection for four games on the trot, the expectation was for Frank Lampard to reinstate the much-maligned Kepa Arrizabalaga for Chelsea’s Champions League clash with Bayern Munich a week ago

The Blues legend had other ideas, though, choosing to double down and keep the Spanish goalkeeper out for a fifth successive game.

The decision was criticised by pundits who remain unconvinced by his replacement, Willy Caballero, whose eccentric style isn't always conducive to a strong defensive showing.
