He is Definitely Starting” – Maresca Confirms Big Chelsea Decision

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has finally put an end to speculation about the club’s goalkeeping situation, confirming that Filip Jorgensen is now the team’s number one choice. This decision comes after Robert Sanchez was dropped following a series of costly mistakes.

 

At the start of the season, Robert Sanchez was Chelsea’s first-choice goalkeeper, but after several errors in key games, Maresca decided to make a change. Filip Jorgensen was handed his Premier League debut against West Ham last Monday, and fans were eager to see if he could prove himself.

 

But when Sanchez made a shocking comeback to the starting lineup in Chelsea’s FA Cup game during the weekend, confusion ensued. Many questioned whether Maresca intended to switch goalkeepers according to their performances, but the manager has since made his position clear.

Speaking in a press conference, Maresca explained his thought process behind the goalkeeper switch:

 

“The Filip [Jorgensen] solution was also to give Robert [Sanchez] some time to recover mentally and physically in general. The idea is not game by game to change the ‘keeper.”

 

He further confirmed that Jorgensen is now Chelsea’s first-choice goalkeeper, stating:

 

“In the last Premier League game against West Ham, it was Filip and then in the FA Cup game, it was Robert but our ‘keeper in this moment is Filip.”

 

Unless Jorgensen plays poorly and loses his spot, Sanchez will probably only play in Conference League games now that Chelsea is eliminated from both the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup. Chelsea may need to completely reevaluate their goalkeeping approach if it occurs.
