Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has demanded more from Robert Sanchez after the Spaniard made further errors to cost his side.

Enzo Maresca has said Chelsea continue to "trust" error-prone goalkeeper Robert Sánchez after his latest mistake in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Manchester City.

Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez has endured an error-strewn season for the Blues and despite Enzo Maresca regularly giving him backing, it appears he could be benched sooner rather than later

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca insisted that he still "trusts" goalkeeper Robert Sanchez after a disastrous performance during Saturday's defeat to Manchester City, but did not commit to blindly sticking with the error-prone Spaniard.

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.

Enzo Maresca insists he continues to ‘trust’ Robert Sanchez despite the goalkeeper’s mistake in Chelsea ’s 3-1 defeat to Manchester City on Saturday. Chelsea took an early lead as Nicolas Jackson capitalised on an error from City’s new £33.6 million signing Abdukodir Khusanov to give Noni Madueke a simple tap-in from close range.

Sanchez, even before his chief clanger, had had one let-off, fumbling a routine shot into the path of the lively Marmoush. The Egyptian scored and was flagged offside; had he left the rebound to Bernardo Silva, arriving from deeper, the goal would have stood.

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has compared forward Cole Palmer's influence on the team to that of Premier League top scorer Mohamed Salah on Liverpool.
