Manager Ronald Koeman has confirmed keeper Joel Robles will continue in goal for Saturday’s home game against West Brom.
The Spanish shot-stopper has been first-choice between the sticks since Maarten Stekelenburg got injured during the Merseyside derby in December.
With Stekelenburg sidelined by a dead leg sustained in an accidental collision with Leighton Baines, Robles rose to the challenge of replacing the Dutchman in goal and played a pivotal role in the Blues’ recent unbeaten run, recording six shut-outs in nine Premier League games.
Although that impressive run came to an end after a 3-2 loss at Tottenham last Sunday, Koeman said Robles will keep his place against the Baggies.
