Enzo Maresca has redoubled his support for Robert Sanchez, insisting that he retains his confidence in the Chelsea goalkeeper despite his last horror show.

Sanchez was responsible for the crucial goal of Erling Haaland during the 3-1 defeat on Saturday at Manchester City, who sees the blues sliding in sixth place.

The Spaniard also made an error leading to the Wolves goal in the victory on Monday evening at Stamford Bridge and the calls for his abandonment which prevailed earlier in the season multiply again.

“We certainly trust Robert,” reiterated Maresca after the defeat in Manchester. “It is perfectly aware that he is making mistakes at the moment. We trust Robert. We have a whole week and we will see the reaction for the next match.

“Robert, of course, is perfectly aware that he must do better. He knows it perfectly. Right now, it’s like that. What is good is that it is the first to know, aware that it must do better.

Chelsea took the advantage in three minutes, Noni Madueke having offered the first match following the error of the beginner Abdukodir Khusanov.

The blues then missed a glorious opportunity to lead 2-0, when Cole Palmer exceeded a square attempt for Nicolas Jackson while he was cleaning the goal.

“We started exactly as we had prepared,” said Maresca. “We could have scored a second one. I am absolutely sure that if we are marking the second, the game changes completely.

“The way they play is not easy to manage and they are masters in their way of playing. The plan worked very well and if we are marked the second, we would speak differently now.
