Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has faced a challenging decision regarding the starting goalkeeper for tomorrow’s Premier League match against Brentford. After Robert Sanchez made a successful return from injury in the FA Cup fifth round victory over Leeds, Pochettino had to weigh his options carefully.
Sanchez had initially been named as Pochettino’s first-choice goalkeeper at the start of the season, taking over from Kepa Arrizabalaga. However, his performances failed to impress, and a setback during a match against Everton in December opened the door for Petrovic to showcase his skills.
Petrovic has since grabbed the opportunity with both hands, emerging as one of Chelsea’s standout players during a challenging period for Pochettino and his team. As the match against Brentford looms, Pochettino remained tight-lipped about his decision, stating, “I don’t know if to tell or not to tell [you]. They know already. Always is tough when you only need to pick 11.”
The suspense surrounding the starting goalkeeper adds an extra layer of intrigue to the upcoming game, as Chelsea look to maintain their momentum in the Premier League. Stay tuned to see who Pochettino ultimately selects to guard the goal against Brentford.
