Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has praised his back up goalkeepers Kepa Arrizabalaga and Willy Caballero.

The duo have not received as many chances to play as they would have liked, as Edouard Mendy is the club's no.1 goalkeeper.

Arrizabalaga has only two starts since Tuchel's arrival, while Caballero has not played for Chelsea since September.

Tuchel, however, is impressed with how much the two players help the squad off the field.

"[It is] nice that it [duo shouting from the stands in midweek against Atletico Madrid] shows you that the team is totally involved, the guys who were in the stands were totally involved," Tuchel told Chelsea TV.

"They were coaching non-stop from the stands, the guys on the bench were [also] constantly coaching the guys on the pitch.

"For example, Kepa and Willy Caballero were outstanding in defensive coaching all the time, so it was pretty impressive and the best feeling for a coach."
