Chelsea finds itself grappling with a goalkeeping crisis as Robert Sanchez is expected to be sidelined for several weeks due to a knee injury. The Spanish goalkeeper sustained the injury during the 2-0 defeat to Everton, exacerbating an issue that emerged in the previous match against Manchester United.

With Sanchez set for rehabilitation, the festive fixtures could see him absent, creating a significant void for the team. In his absence, 24-year-old Serbian goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic, signed from New England Revolution in the summer for £14 million, is poised to step in. Manager Mauricio Pochettino expressed confidence in Petrovic’s potential, emphasizing the need for squad players to step up in challenging situations.

Chelsea is not only dealing with goalkeeper woes but also coping with injuries to Marc Cucurella and Reece James. Cucurella is set to consult with an ankle specialist due to swelling, while James faces a hamstring issue, projecting his return in March. These setbacks add to Chelsea’s injury list, triggering frustration among fans and raising concerns about the team’s overall fitness.

Here is the highlight video of Robert Sanchez’s impressive saves for Chelsea.
