Mauricio Pochettino confirmed in his press conference today that Robert Sanchez is fit again following a knee injury that has kept him out since before Christmas.
In that time, Djordje Petrovic has established himself as the team’s number one goalkeeper and has done really well. Would he be dropped right away for the more experienced player? “You will see…” said Pochettino with a coy smile.
If anything that sounds like a hint that he will change things up, although that’s not a call that will go down well with most Blues fans. They’ve really enjoyed having the no-nonsense Serbia international in nets. They never really had a chance to warm to Sanchez much, and he made a few mistakes (especially with the ball at his feet) in his short time as number one which had already convinced some people that he will never be the world class option we need in goal.
Tomorrow’s teamsheet will be an interesting one.
