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 insisted he still trusts Robert Sanchez to be Chelsea’s starting goalkeeper but added that he wants to see a reaction from the Spaniard to another costly error in Saturday’s 3-1 defeat against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

Enzo Maresca was hoping that the student would become the teacher in his second head-to-head with former mentor Pep Guardola this Premier League season.

Enzo Maresca said that he would have to consider dropping Robert Sanchez after the Chelsea goalkeeper made his fifth major error of the season to give Erling Haaland the chance of a defining second goal for Manchester City in their 3-1 win.
