Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca reassured his commitment to goalkeeper Robert Sanchez following a disappointing loss to Manchester City. Sanchez's performance included critical mistakes that led to goals, culminating in his ill-advised charge after a long ball. Although Maresca supports Sanchez and recognizes his awareness of these errors, he acknowledges that improvement is essential. With Sanchez having made the most errors leading to goals in the Premier League this season, Maresca emphasizes the importance of Sanchez's week of training in determining his future in the starting role.
When reflecting on the 3-1 loss, a game in which Chelsea took a commanding lead after just three minutes, Maresca sighed: "We trust Robert for sure, but in the same moment the first one who is aware he is making mistakes is Robert."
Maresca added: "Robert for sure is completely aware that he has to do better. He was completely aware after the game, he knows perfectly."
Maresca has been keen to defend his goalkeeper against criticism this season, but warned that the Spain international was "still far, far, far from where he needs to be."
Sanchez has committed five errors directly leading to goals this season, which is more than any player in the Premier League.
