Chelsea Stand Firm Behind Robert Sanchez Despite Recent Errors
Despite a string of costly errors, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has decided to stick with goalkeeper Robert Sanchez. The Spanish goalkeeper, who joined Chelsea from Brighton for £25 million in 2023, has had a difficult season but will remain Chelsea’s first choice under Maresca.
Sanchez started the season as Chelsea’s regular goalkeeper, but he was replaced by Djordje Petrovic due to injuries and inconsistent performances. This season, however, Maresca has reinstated Sanchez as the preferred option, despite adding Filip Jorgensen from Villarreal.
The Bigger Picture
Sanchez’s recent performances have sparked worries following a string of mistakes, including two vital errors against Brighton and a penalty conceded in Chelsea’s 1-1 draw with Manchester United. Despite this, Maresca has showed faith in the 25-year-old, and Chelsea’s top management is said to approve the choice, considering Sanchez as a reliable asset going forward.
