Thomas Tuchel has refused to confirm whether Edouard Mendy will remain the No 1 goalkeeper at Chelsea after the Senegalese shot-stopper was left out of his side's opening Champions League group game against Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday.
Mendy has been a regular starter for the Blues between the sticks ever since he arrived at Stamford Bridge two years ago. However, he has made high-profile errors in recent games against Leeds and West Ham, leaving some questioning his place in the team.
Tuchel named Kepa Arrizabalaga in goal in Zagreb, and admitted that this was the time for Mendy to 'take a breath' after his indifferent start to the season.
