Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has clarified where he stands on the club’s goalkeeper situation, responding to whether Filip Jorgensen might soon replace Robert Sanchez as the team’s first choice.
Currently, Sanchez holds the No. 1 spot, while Jorgensen has taken charge in cup games, including tonight’s anticipated Carabao Cup clash against Newcastle United. However, some Chelsea fans have voiced concerns over Sanchez’s performances this season, noting costly errors and inconsistent distribution. Despite this, Maresca continues to defend his goalkeeper, which has left fans curious about his unwavering support.
Maresca insists he has full confidence in Sanchez, even amid recent criticism. Speaking at a press conference, Maresca responded to Daily Mail reporter Kieran Gill, who asked if Jorgensen was close to challenging Sanchez for the first-choice position. Maresca replied, “No. At the moment, the No 1 is Robert Sanchez. Filip is doing fantastic in the Carabao Cup and Conference League, but there is no doubt Robert is the No 1.”
For now, Maresca’s endorsement of Sanchez remains strong. With Chelsea’s recent positive results, the debate has quieted, but fans are eager to see if Sanchez can maintain his form and keep the confidence of his head coach.
