Chelsea's stance on Sanchez

According to Give Me Sport, Chelsea values Sanchez and is not eyeing a replacement in the January transfer window.

The report adds that the Blues trust the 26-year-old and believe he has room to improve. Blues boss Enzo Maresca has shown his trust by playing him every minute of the Premier League this season.

Moreover, Chelsea believes Sanchez can improve his performance, especially by playing from the back, to fit into Maresca's style. Filip Jorgensen has played in Europe and the League Cup.

Sanchez joined Chelsea in 2023 and made 16 league appearances last season, per Transfermarkt.

"If Robert makes a mistake, it’s not Robert’s problem, it’s my mistake because I asked that from Robert. I am very happy with Robert and the way he is playing, building from the back," Maresca said via Metro Sports.

Maresca brags about Chelsea squad

Amid the discourse on Sanchez, Chelsea coach Maresca bragged about his squad, claiming it is one of the best in the Premier League, as Legit.ng reported earlier.

The London club has one of the most expensively assembled squads but are yet to challenge for a major trophy.

Chelsea captain issues

In another report, Legit.ng reported that Maresca voiced concerns about the leadership qualities of his captain, Reece James.

The Chelsea manager expressed that James needs to make substantial improvements to meet the expectations of his role at the club. Maresca's remarks have stirred mixed reactions among fans.

Some question the fairness of the critique, while others feel a change in captaincy might benefit the team.
