  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Sanchez’s struggles between the sticks have led to growing frustration among Chelsea supporters, with his mistakes contributing to several dropped points throughout the campaign. The pressure has only intensified as the club’s summer signing, Filip Jorgensen, has now overtaken him in the pecking order.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Jorgensen was handed a starting role in Chelsea’s 2-1 victory over West Ham, and Maresca has since confirmed that he will remain as the team’s primary shot-stopper in the Premier League moving forward. This decision leaves Sanchez facing a steep uphill battle to regain his position in the squad.

  • WHAT MARESCA SAID

    Sanchez recently debuted a freshly shaved head in training, prompting Maresca to quip: "I said to him 'if you want to play again, you need the same haircut as mine'!"

    WHAT NEXT FOR CHELSEA?

    With Jorgensen now firmly installed as the first-choice goalkeeper, Sanchez’s chances of returning to the starting XI may hinge on how the young Danish shot-stopper performs in the coming weeks. Chelsea’s last outing ended in a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Brighton and the Blues will be eager to put their recent setback behind when they make the trip to Aston Villa on Saturday evening.
