Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is open to dropping Robert Sanchez for Jorgensen but he’s yet to decide which goalkeeper will face West Ham on Monday.
Maresca in the past few weeks have backed number one Robert Sanchez despite high-profile mistakes. However, Sanchez form has failed to improve and he has made a joint Premier League-high of five mistakes leading to goals this season.
Having previously said mistakes are common with his style of play, Maresca hinted at a possible change with deputy Filip Jorgensen an option.
“Not yet,” Maresca replied when asked if he had decided which goalkeeper is playing, adding: “We have two or three days for the decision.
“The good thing is that any decision I take, I feel good because every time Filip has played since we started, he has done well.
“Filip or Robert, we will see but any decision will be okay.”

Maresca was asked whether Jorgensen is pressuring him to start another league game having had just two league starts this season.
“I don’t think so because the first time I spoke with Filip in June or July, I was clear that the number one choice was Robert,” he added.
“For sure, if the number one is Robert and then because we have two good goalkeepers, we can make some different decisions.
“This doesn’t mean that Robert can make a mistake every game and is always going to play. The number one choice was Robert and we will see on Monday.”
