Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Filip Jorgensen will remain the club’s first-choice goalkeeper despite his mistake in the 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa, while also addressing injuries and Cole Palmer’s dip in form.
Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen will keep his place in the starting XI for Tuesday’s match against Southampton, despite his costly mistake against Aston Villa, which led to the game-winning goal. Manager Enzo Maresca defended his decision, insisting that dropping players after every mistake is not a sustainable approach. Meanwhile, defender Trevoh Chalobah will be sidelined for around 10 days due to injury, adding to Chelsea’s ongoing fitness concerns. Maresca also backed Cole Palmer, who has gone six games without a goal or assist, stating that the team must not overly rely on him and that his struggles reflect Chelsea’s overall lack of cutting edge in front of goal.
