Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy receives hero’s welcome in Senegal
Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy was given a hero’s welcome by his Senegal teammates on his arrival at the national team camp on Thursday evening. Players and members of the national team management waited until late on Thursday evening to welcome the 29-year-old, who helped Chelsea win the Uefa Champions League trophy last Saturday after a 1-0 victory over Manchester City. Mendy is the second Senegalese player to lift the coveted European title after Sadio Mane won it with Liverpool in the 2018-19 season. He played a vital role in the Blues’ successful European campaign with a record nine clean sheets in 12 games. Following an impressive debut campaign in England, Mendy, who has made himself Chelsea’s no. 1, said he will continue working to improve his game. “I don’t set limits for myself...
Eden Hazard says he will be ready in time for Euros
Eden Hazard is still having “some thigh problems” after missing much of Real Madrid’s season but “will be there when the Euros start”, he told a video press conference on Monday. The midfielder said he was “not yet at 100 percent” but added that “physically I still have to prepare myself and I obviously hope to be ready for the first game on 12 June.” Belgium, one of the favourites for the title, start Euro 2020 on June 12 against Russia in a group that also includes Denmark and Finland. Hazard arrived at the national training centre at Tubize on Monday, at the same time as most of his team-mates and, as captain, was the first to speak at the press conference. “I missed the last game with Real because of a little discomfort in my thigh. Since then I have been able to rest for a week and me...
Chelsea’s Champions League final squad confirmed
Thomas Tuchel has named his 25-man squad for the trip to Portugal to face Manchester City in the Champions League final. Our head coach looks set to have a full squad to choose from in Porto, with his 25 players flying to Portugal today ahead of Saturday’s final, following N’Golo Kante and Edouard Mendy’s return to training yesterday after picking up injuries in our last two Premier League fixtures. ‘N’Golo is looking good and I hope he stays like that for Saturday,’ said Tuchel. ‘Edou made a huge improvement with the management of pain from when the injury happened, which is good.

If he is fit, then Edou will play.’ Chelsea squad listed below in squad number order Kepa Arrizabalaga Antonio Rudiger Marcos Alonso Andreas Christensen Jorginho Thiago Silva N’Golo Kan...
Thomas Tuchel provides injury update on Edouard Mendy after Villa defeat
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has provided an injury update on goalkeeper Edouard Mendy following the club’s 2-1 Premier League defeat at Aston Villa. The Senegal international slammed into the frame of the goal while trying to save Bertrand Traore’s goal in the 43rd minute, and he was substituted at the interval. The Blues ended up with a disappointing 2-1 defeat at Villa Park, but still qualified for the Champions League in fourth as Leicester City finished one point behind them. The Foxes were leading 2-1 against Tottenham Hotspur in the 52nd minute, but Spurs made a terrific comeback to win 4-2 at the King Power Stadium. Speaking in his post-match press conference, Tuchel revealed that Mendy has pain in his ribs, and will be assessed ahead of the Champions League final against Manchest...
Manchester City boss reacts to Sergio Aguero’s penalty miss vs Chelsea
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has reacted to Sergio Aguero’s shocking penalty miss during Manchester City’s 2-1 defeat to Chelsea at the Etihad on Saturday. Man City took the lead through Raheem Sterling in the first half and Aguero shockingly missed the opportunity to give the home side a 2-0 lead before the half time whistle. The Argentine attempted a Panenka penalty but the chipped effort lacked conviction and was comfortably saved by Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy. Chelsea came back very strong in the second, putting up an impressive display that gave them 2 goals from Hakim Ziyech and Marcos Alonso. With the win, the Blues delayed Manchester City’s Premier League title celebrations and also gave the west London outfit a psychological advantage ahead of the Champions League fina...
Sergio Aguero apologises after embarrassing penalty miss vs Chelsea
Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero has issued an apology for his penalty miss against Chelsea. Aguero made a hash of his Panenka effort on Saturday, spooning the kick straight into the arms of Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy. It was a surprising slip from the usually unerring Argentine, but it was in keeping with a torrid season for the Premier League leaders from 12 yards out and contributed to a 2-1 defeat that prevented City from claiming the title. City boss Pep Guardiola refused to criticise the forward following the game, but Aguero has taken to Twitter to issue an apology. “I would like to apologise to my team-mates, staff and supporters for missing the penalty,” Aguero wrote. “It was a bad decision and I take full responsibility.” Aguero’s Panenka nightmare was the fourth penal...
‘Fantastic’, ‘Top class’: Some Chelsea fans praise defensive display from 29-year-old star
A selection of Chelsea fans heaped praise on goalkeeper Edouard Mendy following his impressive display against Fulham in the Premier League. The Blues registered a 2-0 triumph over the Cottagers at home on Saturday, but it was far from straightforward during the first half. The club took the lead through Kai Havertz in the 10th minute, but they could not double their advantage before the interval. Mendy proved key in keeping the Blues ahead with three crucial saves, including one where he was initially wrongfooted by a deflection. Havertz made it 2-0 for the Blues shortly after the interval, and they managed to hold on to the lead with relative comfort. Several Blues fans on Twitter praised the display of Mendy between the sticks. Clean sheet number 23 for Edouard Mendy in all competitions...
Chelsea squeeze through to UCL semis after late Porto scare
Chelsea booked their spot in the Champions League semi-finals despite a late goal from Mehdi Taremi for Porto on Tuesday night. The Portuguese outfit tried to set a fast tempo from the off but struggled to break down Chelsea in a first period where neither side had a shot on target. The pattern continued after the interval and it wasn’t until the 65th minute that Edouard Mendy was forced to make a save when he easily kept out substitute Mehdi Taremi’s header. The Blues had the better of the half chances through Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic but seemed content with a stalemate that was broken four minutes into added time when Taremi struck to give Cheslea a late scare. Chelsea, who will meet either Liverpool or Real Madrid in the last four, will now shift focus to the FA Cup semi final ...
‘Absolute class’, ‘Fantastic’: Some Chelsea fans praise 29-year-old’s display in Leeds United draw
A selection of Chelsea fans on Twitter heaped praise on goalkeeper Edouard Mendy for his splendid performance against Leeds United on Saturday. The Blues went into the game with the chance to do the Premier League double over the Whites for the first time since the 1936/37 campaign. However, they were unable to do so as they settled for a goalless draw and needed to thank Mendy, who made two top-class saves between the sticks. The Senegalese international came up with a sublime finger-tip save to deflect Tyler Robert’s shot onto the cross bar in the first half. Prior to the hour mark, he produced the moment of the match. Raphinha shot on the turn took a deflection which saw Mendy wrong-footed. However, the 29-year-old managed to shift his weight and got a strong left hand to claw the attac...
‘He gives us confidence’: Thomas Tuchel reserves praise for Chelsea star after Leeds draw
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel was hugely impressed with the performance of goalkeeper Edouard Mendy against Leeds United on Saturday. The Senegal international kept his 14th clean sheet of the Premier League campaign and he had to earn it after a couple of top-class saves. The 29-year-old denied Tyler Roberts his maiden top-flight goal in the first half by finger-tipping the Welshman’s effort onto the crossbar. Before the hour mark, he came up with a strong hand to claw away Raphinha’s shot on the turn, which initially wrongfooted him due to a deflection. The game eventually ended 0-0, but the hosts should have found the back of the net as Rodrigo squandered a wonderful chance from just 10 yards out. Speaking after the game, Tuchel described the team performance as ‘absolutely okay’, but a...
Manchester United rages at penalty talk as team draw another blank
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes Manchester United are being negatively influenced by opposition managers referring to their penalty record after being denied a spot-kick in a 0-0 draw at Chelsea on Sunday. United was furious that referee Stuart Attwell stuck to his original call not to award a penalty for handball by Callum Hudson-Odoi despite being asked to review the incident by VAR in the first-half. The Red Devils have been awarded 22 penalties in the Premier League since the start of last season, four more than any other club, which led Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp and former Chelsea manager Frank Lampard to question why their sides failed to get the same treatment from officials. “It’s all these outside influences. That’s influencing referees,” said an unusually irate Solskjaer. “We’ve ...
