Kepa Arrizabalaga, currently on loan at Bournemouth, will be unable to participate in matches against his parent club, Chelsea. Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola confirmed this restriction, stating, “We knew it before he came to the club, it’s part of the rules – he cannot play.”
The Spanish goalkeeper, who joined Bournemouth on a temporary basis, is subject to standard loan regulations that prevent him from facing Chelsea. This rule is commonly enforced to avoid potential conflicts of interest and ensure fair competition.
