Enzo Maresca confirms who Chelsea's No 1 goalkeeper is ahead of Arsenal clash as Blues boss reveals why Robert Sanchez was dropped

Enzo Maresca will bring back Robert Sanchez as Chelsea's No 1 for their Sunday showdown with Arsenal in the Premier League.

Sanchez had been relegated to second choice behind Filip Jorgensen, though it can now be confirmed that was only a temporary demotion.

Maresca felt the 27-year-old Spaniard needed time out of the limelight following several high-profile mistakes, such as in their 3-1 loss at Manchester City in January when he rushed out of his box to allow Erling Haaland to score from a chance that originally carried a xG worth 0.
