Enzo Maresca admits Chelsea’s first-choice goalkeeper Robert Sanchez still has a lot of improving to do and believes he needs to cope better with criticism from the club’s fans. Sanchez was jeered by Chelsea supporters every time he caught the ball in the second half of their 3-1 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday night.

Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez retains the support of head coach Enzo Maresca as the club’s number one, but no guarantees have been offered over his long-term future.

Enzo Maresca says Robert Sanchez will remain Chelsea ’s No1 for the remainder of the season — but is “far, far, far” from playing at the level he wants from his goalkeeper. The Spaniard was the Blues’ first choice goalkeeper last season after his transfer from Brighton and has remained the go-to man in goal this season.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has said the club "are always" looking for opportunities to sign new players with seven days until the January transfer window closes.

Enzo Maresca has conceded that Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez has a lot of improving to do and is ‘far’ from the level he demands. Sanchez has been reinstated as the Blues’ first-choice keeper since the arrival of Maresca this summer but has endured a mixed season in between the sticks.
