Kepa’s situation at Chelsea had become irretrievable before Frank Lampard was sacked and Thomas Tuchel was appointed as his successor. There remains a sense that Chelsea would like Kepa to be given a second chance before having to make a final decision on his future. Edouard Mendy of Chelsea gives instructions during the Premier League match between Sheffield United and Chelsea at Bramall Lane on February 07, 2021 in Sheffield, England. If and when Kepa reopens his Twitter replies to the public could depend on whether or not he can win back his Chelsea place or eventually move elsewhere to try to revive his career. A first appearance under Tuchel against Barnsley would not offer the chance of redemption, but it may be an opportunity for Kepa to start putting the past behind him.
