Chelsea’s clash with Everton ended up as a double blow for them. The Blues succumbed to a 2-0 loss and saw their #1 limp off the field in the 86th minute. With Robert Sanchez being the latest addition to the injury list, it is time for the club to trust the new arrival. Mauricio Pochettino is all set to deploy the 24-year-old Dorde Petrovic.
Chelsea next face Sheffield United in the Premier League and life is not getting easy for the coach. The absence of his first-preference goalie means he now has to turn to the less experienced Serbian international. Petrovic arrived at Stamford Bridge this summer from New England Revolution.
He earned a seven-year-long deal with the Blues with an option to extend another year. The lengthy deal is a testament to Chelsea’s faith in Đorđe Petrović’s talent. However, he never quite got the chance over Robert Sánchez.
Petrović’s dream debut turned into a nightmare. Despite featuring for just six minutes, he conceded a goal. The shaky start is certain to affect the former New England Revolution goalkeeper’s morale. The Sheffield game is another opportunity for the Serbian to prove his worth and send a strong message to the coach and the fans.
Stamford Bridge was once home to goalkeeping heavyweights. It wasn’t long ago that Chelsea had Kepa Arrizabalaga and Édouard Mendy at their disposal. Pochettino did find his trust in Sánchez who is now under injury assessment. While the Chelsea boss is ready to entrust Đorđe Petrović, his experience in the Premier League is questionable.
This leaves concerns about Chelsea’s goalkeeping options for the next season. The club must shop for a keeper in the upcoming transfer window to safeguard themselves from such adversaries. The Blues’ third option Lucas Bergström is on the verge of his contract expiration and faces an uncertain future. All these reasons indicate just one fact— Chelsea needs a goalkeeping option. As of now, no solid links are circulating about Chelsea’s shot-stopper options. We might be in for a great surprise in the upcoming transfer window.
