Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed that he will continue to select Robert Sanchez over Filip Jorgensen as his first-choice goalkeeper.
Sanchez has been Maresca’s preferred option since joining Chelsea, even though Djordje Petrovic displaced the Spaniard as the starter last season. Petrovic subsequently joined Strasbourg on loan during the summer transfer window.
Sanchez now faces competition from summer signing Jorgensen, who made his league debut against Southampton and regularly features in the Conference League.
While Sanchez has delivered key saves for Chelsea this season, he has also faced criticism for several high-profile errors.
Speaking ahead of Chelsea’s clash with Brentford on Sunday, Maresca addressed the ongoing debate about his goalkeeper selection, making his stance clear.
“The idea is not to change,” Maresca stated, dashing Jorgensen’s hopes of taking the starting spot. “But in this case, we have two keepers who are both good. Until they maintain the same level, we are happy with that.”
