Chelsea does not sign a replacement for Robert Sanchez in this month's transfer star.
Sanchez has ended at Stamford Bridge for a difficult time since he arrived at the Blues from Brighton in the summer of 2023. Chelsea paid £ 25 million to secure its services, but the Spaniard has difficulty convincing.
In fact, he is at the top of the unwanted graph for mistakes that lead to shots (seven) and goals (five). One of those goals came in the defeat of Saturday against Manchester City, in which Sanchez also lost 19 times.
His mistake at Etihad proved crucial because the blues fell to a harmful defeat. It came when he ran from his line in the 68th minute, but he was not nearly near Erling Haaland, allowing the city star to lift a finish high in an unguarded.
That was the second goal of the hosts after the equalizer of Josko Gvardiol, in which Phil Foden was added a late third. Sanchez's fault was his second in a week after he had not taken on a cross against Wolves on Monday, so that the wrestlers could briefly draw.
Despite its terrible form, it seems that Chelsea stays with their substitute holder. According to The Times, the blues are 'not on the market' for another Shot stopper, with their focus on offensive reinforcements.
It represents a delay for Sanchez, but can also be a decision that is rooted in the management of squadron numbers. In addition to Sanchez, the goalkeeper department of the blues also contains Filip Jørgensen, Gabriel Slonina, Marcus Bettinelli and Lucas Bergström, while Kepa is on loan.
Although he will not be replaced on the transfer market, Chelsea -Baas Enzo Maresca has hinted that Sanchez could lose its place to Jorgensen for the collision of Monday with West Ham.
He said on Saturday: “We trust Robert for sure, but the first to be completely aware that he is making mistakes right now is Robert. We are sure Robert trust. We trust Robert, but now we have a whole week, we See the response and then we decide for the next game “
Instead of blaming Sanchez for the defeat against City, Maresca pointed to the failure of his side to score a second goal. He added: “We started the game exactly as we prepared. We scored the first, we could have scored the second in three different opportunities.
“I think, and I am completely sure, because of the mood and because of the moment, scoring the second, the game would change completely. Unfortunately we did not score the second.
“It is urgent; you have to be brave in this kind of games, knowing that if you have to press higher, you are their best player – who is Haaland – one -V -lone leaves your defender. But I think we have treated, for Most of the game, pretty good “
