Concedes twice in opener Sanchez recorded four saves and allowed two goals in Monday's 3-2 victory against Fulham.

Impact Sanchez started in between the sticks in Chelsea's Premier League opener, and although it wasn't pretty, helped lead his side to the win. He conceded a goal to Josh King in the 23rd minute on a shot he should have saved, then a poor clearance attempt by him led to Fulham's second goal, a Gonzalo Garcia header in the 54th minute. Still, he made four saves and thanks to the new and improved attack, started off the season with a derby win. Next up is the home opener versus Brighton who scored four goals in their opening win over Aston Villa.

Starts vs. Juventus Sanchez (undisclosed) starts in Wednesday's preseason friendly against Juventus, the club announced.

Impact Sanchez had missed an earlier friendly against Tottenham due to a minor issue, one new coach Xabi Alonso described as being assessed day by day rather than risked unnecessarily, and his return to the starting lineup is a positive sign after that injury scare. The goalkeeper's shot-stopping and command of his box made him the primary choice ahead of Filip Jorgensen for most of last season, finishing with nine clean sheets across 35 Premier League appearances, and this outing offers him a chance to fend off growing competition from Mike Penders. Sanchez is expected to continue building toward full match sharpness as preseason progresses.

Back from injury Sanchez (undisclosed) is back from injury for Wednesday's friendly against Juventus, according to Simon Johnson of The Athletic.

Impact Sanchez had been missing from the earlier friendly against Tottenham with what new coach Xabi Alonso described as a minor issue, assessed day by day rather than risked unnecessarily. He started the majority of last season ahead of Filip Jorgensen, finishing with nine clean sheets across 35 Premier League appearances, and his return now positions him to build back toward full match fitness as Chelsea continues its preseason preparations.

AUGUST 1 • SPORTSKEEDA.COM

Missing with minor injury Sanchez (undisclosed) is missing from Chelsea's squad for Saturday's friendly against Tottenham due to a minor injury, according to Bobby Vincent of Football London.

Impact Sanchez started the majority of last season ahead of Filip Jorgensen, finishing with nine clean sheets across 35 Premier League appearances while averaging 2.8 saves per match, even as the club's overall defensive record remained inconsistent. His absence in Saturday's friendly against the Spurs appears to be precautionary given the minor nature of the issue, and his status for Chelsea's next preseason fixture against Juventus on Wednesday should become clearer in the coming days.

The keeper still denied several attempts, bringing his season average to 2.8 saves per league appearance. While he retained the starting job over Filip Jorgensen for most of the campaign and recorded nine clean sheets over 35 Premier League matches, the club's defensive record was marked by inconsistency throughout the year.

Impact Sanchez conceded one goal Tuesday, a close-range Richarlison strike in the 74th minute.

Concedes one in final loss Sanchez recorded four saves and one goal allowed in Saturday's 1-0 FA Cup loss to Manchester City.

Impact Sanchez had some decent work to do Saturday as he tried to keep City out of the back of the net, recording four saves in the process. However, he still would allow a late goal, although on a shot not many keepers in the world would save. He should remain the starter heading into the final two games of the campaign, recording nine clean sheets, 44 goals allowed and 91 saves in 33 appearances in league play this campaign.

Makes starting XI Sanchez (concussion) is in the starting XI for Saturday's FA Cup final against Manchester City.

Impact Sanchez reclaimed his place between the posts after missing the last match following the concussion sustained against Nottingham Forest, with coach Calum McFarlane's hopeful words ahead of the showpiece fixture proving well-founded as the Spanish goalkeeper is cleared in time for one of the biggest matches of the season. His return sees Filip Jorgensen revert to a backup option, with the coaching staff getting their first-choice shot-stopper back at the most important moment of the campaign. His ability to recover from a concussion in time for an FA Cup final is a significant relief for Chelsea heading into Saturday's showpiece occasion at Wembley.

Of with head injury Sanchez was forced off the field in Monday's match against Nottingham Forest due to an apparent concussion.

Impact Sanchez would be involved in a collision and eventually had to leave the field, suffering from what looks to be a concussion. With him being their starting keeper, this will be something to monitor, as a concussion could leave him out for Saturday's match against Liverpool as he passes protocol. With the club dropping out of European play, this could be a rough loss as they need every win they can get at this point, with Filip Jorgensen likely to start in net if Sanchez remains out.
