KEPA has replaced David De Gea as Spain's No. 1 goalkeeper, but the Manchester United striker can regain first place, according to national coach Robert Moreno.

The 24-year-old Chelsea goalkeeper had a great first season with Chelsea, which was a season to forget for United.

De Gea did not manage to get rid of a bad World Cup and a series of screams for United had supporters calling for his surrender.

Kepa has been awarded by De Gea for the last three Spanish matches. Monday's win against Sweden has been preserved. His form at the end of the campaign was decisive for the 24-year-old.

Moreno insists that De Gea has not been frozen.

He said: "We do not think the De Gea period with Spain is over.

"But Kepa had an unbelievable end to the season – champion of the Europa League with great performances. At this very moment, we thought Kepa could help us in a better way.

"The competition is now launched. When you have something easy, you relax and it is not good. Competitiveness is also good for the purpose. "

The Chelsea goalkeeper is keen to let his performances be talked about instead of getting stuck in the debate to know he's justifying his place in the team ahead of De Gea.

Kepa said, "We are always involved in this type of media debate.

"We have to take it naturally, it's football. I am happy to play, help the team and finish this season in the best way possible.

"I will continue to work as I have done so far, trying to do my best with my club and, hopefully, keeping the coach's confidence in the # 39 national team.

"In the end, we all want to play Pau Lopez, De Gea and I are training to play, and after all, it's a decision of the coach, it's his responsibility."
