Maurizio Sarri stated that dropping Kepa Arrizabalaga for Chelsea's 2-0 win over Tottenham was a message to the rest of the side.

"It's a choice. It's a message for my group that we are a group and not 25 players," said Sarri following the match.

Kepa, who was fined a week's wages for refusing to be subbed off against Manchester City over the weekend, was replaced by Willy Caballero.
