Kepa Arrizabalaga becomes first Chelsea player to publicly respond to Todd Boehly entering the dressing room
Kepa Arrizabalaga has reacted to Todd Boehly entering the dressing room following Chelsea's crushing defeat to Brighton last weekend.
The Blues have lost three games in a row since Frank Lampard's return to the club as caretaker manager until the end of the season.
Lampard's side took the lead thanks to Conor Gallagher but lost 1-2 after a superb Julio Enciso strike.

Arrizabalaga has shared his thoughts on the American giving them a group chat as he became the first Chelsea player to respond publicly since the revelations came to light.
The Spaniard was asked about Boehly's profanity during his pre-match press conference ahead of the Champions League match against Real Madrid.
He insists the 49-year-old enters the dressing room after EVERY game because he refuses to reveal what he has told the team.
"Todd comes to the dressing room every game. He has different conversations with us," he said. "I'm not going to say what he said. It's normal for him to come into the dressing room."
Arrizabalaga will start from the start as Chelsea look to reverse the two-goal loss in the quarter-final second leg at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old admitted he needed a better performance than the one he had at the Bernabeu last week.
"We need a better performance than what we had at the Bernabeu," he added.
“We need to control the counter-attack better and spend more time with the ball. We need to create more chances, score goals and be more careful in both areas to have a chance.
"Hopefully tomorrow we can engage the fans at Stamford Bridge and do our best to create the different atmosphere we have to go through.
