Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca says Filip Jorgensen is the club’s first-choice goalkeeper “at the moment” over Robert Sanchez.
Jorgensen, 22, started Chelsea’s most recent Premier League game against West Ham in place of Sanchez, who has made a number of high-profile errors.
Sanchez – who has a joint Premier League-high of five mistakes leading to goals this season – returned for the FA Cup loss at Brighton, but Maresca confirmed Jorgensen is now Chelsea’s number one.
“I said that the Filip solution [against West Ham] was also to give Robert some time to recover mentally and physically,” the Blues boss said.
“But the idea is not to game-by-game change the keeper. In the last Premier League game we had Filip and in the FA Cup it was Robert. Our keeper at the moment is Filip.”
Maresca added: “I spoke with Robert a few days before West Ham where I took the decision to play Filip. I never spoke again with Robert. Filip, exactly the same.
“They know the situation. This is the situation now and then we will see.”
