Enzo Maresca is going to leave it late before deciding whether to start Robert Sanchez in goal in Chelsea’s game against West Ham on Monday night. Sanchez, 27, has been first-choice keeper since Maresca took charge in the summer but has become a target of abuse from the club’s fans after making several high-profile mistakes.

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca said goalkeeper Robert Sanchez cannot “make a mistake every game” and expect to keep his place as he hinted he could turn to understudy Filip Jorgensen for Monday’s game against West Ham.

Enzo Maresca admits Chelsea’s first-choice goalkeeper Robert Sanchez still has a lot of improving to do and believes he needs to cope better with criticism from the club’s fans. Sanchez was jeered by Chelsea supporters every time he caught the ball in the second half of their 3-1 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday night.

Enzo Maresca insists he continues to ‘trust’ Robert Sanchez despite the goalkeeper’s mistake in Chelsea ’s 3-1 defeat to Manchester City on Saturday. Chelsea took an early lead as Nicolas Jackson capitalised on an error from City’s new £33.6 million signing Abdukodir Khusanov to give Noni Madueke a simple tap-in from close range.

Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez retains the support of head coach Enzo Maresca as the club’s number one, but no guarantees have been offered over his long-ter

Sections of the Chelsea support have lost patience with Sanchez, leading Maresca to urge the Stamford Bridge crowd to get behind whoever he chooses on Monday night. He did admit, however, that taking a struggling player out of the firing line could prove a wise course of action.

Enzo Maresca has ruled out recalling Kepa Arrizabalaga, who is on loan at Bournemouth, but admitted that Chelsea No.1 Robert Sanchez could be dropped.

Enzo Maresca says Robert Sanchez will remain Chelsea ’s No1 for the remainder of the season — but is “far, far, far” from playing at the level he wants from his goalkeeper. The Spaniard was the Blues’ first choice goalkeeper last season after his transfer from Brighton and has remained the go-to man in goal this season.
