Chelsea fans have reacted with huge frustration following Enzo Maresca's comments about Robert Sanchez and the latest developments in the club's goalkeeper situation.

Chelsea are currently preparing to face Arsenal on 16 March, fresh off the back of a victory over Copenhagen in the Conference League, securing their place in the quarter-finals.

Filip Jorgensen was given the nod midweek after he lost his place to Sanchez for Chelsea's league clash against Leicester, as Maresca continues to rotate his goalkeepers.

However, Sanchez has faced criticism this season after a string of errors earlier in the season that saw him dropped for four consecutive Premier League games.

Maresca's latest comments have now provided some clarity on the situation—though they have only added to Chelsea fans' frustration, as questions remain over whether Sanchez should be the club's long-term number one.

Enzo Maresca backs Robert Sanchez as Chelsea goalkeeper despite mounting pressure

Maresca confirmed in his latest press conference that Sanchez will start against Arsenal, suggesting the Spaniard has won the battle for the No.1 spot.

Addressing the situation, he stated: "Since we started, the idea was not to change goalkeepers, but sometimes you have to modify and be flexible."

Chelsea have an abundance of goalkeepers on their books, and with Djorde Petrovic impressing on loan at Strasbourg, many Chelsea fans are calling for Sanchez to be sold in his place.

Football Insider revealed on 27 February revealed that Chelsea are planning to sign a new goalkeeper in the summer, as Maresca looks to overhaul his defensive setup. However, despite the ongoing speculation, it appears the Italian coach is sticking by Sanchez for the remainder of the season.

Sanchez's performances this season have been widely criticised, ultimately leading to his temporary removal from the starting XI.

Supporters have grown increasingly frustrated with the former Brighton shot-stopper, and despite Jorgensen's costly mistake against Aston Villa, many fans remain opposed to Sanchez reclaiming his place.

One supporter labelled Maresca a "liar and disrespectful to the fans" while another warned, "Sanchez will single-handedly cost him his job."

With tensions rising, Maresca's decision to back Sanchez could prove pivotal as Chelsea approach a crucial stage of the season.
