Manager Enzo Maresca took responsibility for the keeper's performance post-match, stating, "If Robert makes a mistake, it's not Robert's problem, it's my mistake because I asked that from Robert. I am very happy with Robert and the way he is playing, building from the back." If Sanchez remains the first choice for Chelsea between the sticks, his next league matchup will come Sunday as Chelsea travel to take on Manchester United who recently relieved manager Erik ten Hag of his duties.

Impact Normally, three saves is an adequate output from a goalkeeper. However, Sanchez's three marks his lowest in the category since Sept. 1. On top of that, he and Chelsea's defenders did not take enough preventative measures to stop Liverpool's team from logging its two goals. Levi Colwill conceded a penalty-kick opportunity, which Mohamed Salah successfully converted. Miscommunication between Sanchez and Chelsea's defensive line allowed the aforementioned Jones open space for another goal. The goalkeeper will look to improve next week in another Sunday matchup, this time scheduled for Stamford Bridge against Newcastle United.

Impact Sanchez made an outstanding contribution to his team Saturday. He caused a penalty through fouling a goal bound Evanilson, and then saved the ensuing spot kick. This was complemented by six other assertive saves to help the Blues leave the game with all three points. The regular starter has not been particularly impressive this season, he has conceded five from Chelsea's first four matches but this was by far his best performance. He will need to be on his toes for their next against West Ham, the Hammers have scored in all their cup and league games this season.

Allows two against City Sanchez registered three saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-0 defeat against Manchester City.

Impact Sanchez didn't have his best outing Sunday, as he would allow two past him in the loss while making three saves.

Back in training Sanchez (knee) is back in training and should return soon, according to manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Impact While Sanchez looks to be an option again, Djordje Petrovic is believed to be Chelsea's No. 1 goalkeeper at this point. Sanchez had an okay season before suffering this knee injury in early December, but there may not be a good reason for him to return to the XI in place of Petrovic, something that Pochettino will have to decide shortly.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start rehab program Sanchez will start rehabilitation again on his knee, keeping him out again for Chelsea.

Impact Sanchez is still struggling to return to fitness with his knee injury that has kept him out since December.

Returns to starting XI Sanchez got the start during Wednesday's 3-2 win over Leeds in the FA Cup.

Impact Sanchez has been fit for multiple weeks now, but has evidently fallen out of favor as the top choice goalkeeper.

Impact Sanchez is back, but he may not be back in the starting XI. Djordje Petrovic has been excellent in replacement of Sanchez and has likely done enough to earn the starting role moving forward.

Starts training individually Sanchez (knee) was viewed training individually on grass ahead of Wednesday's contest against Liverpool.

Impact Sanchez seems to be getting closer to a return but may still be a couple of weeks away from that date, as he was featured training individually Monday. The goalie should not be expected to return as soon as Wednesday against Liverpool, as with the recent updates in his rehabilitation, he will still be out until at least the weekend. We will hope to possibly return on Sunday against Wolves or versus Crystal Palace on Feb. 12, where he would most likely get the start immediately once healthy.

It is still unsure when the player may return, as the seriousness of the knock has yet to be announced, but based on Pochettino's quotes, the player may be available by the weekend for their match against Sheffield.
