Chelsea injury nightmare: Robert Sanchez to miss Liverpool clash as Calum McFarlane confirms six-man crisis

Chelsea's Selection Crisis Deepens

Chelsea face a mounting selection crisis ahead of their daunting trip to Anfield, with interim head coach Calum McFarlane confirming that Robert Sanchez will miss the clash against Liverpool. The Blues are desperate to halt a disastrous run of six consecutive Premier League defeats but must do so without several key first-team figures.

Sanchez Out with Concussion

The Blues will be without starting goalkeeper Sanchez for Saturday's lunchtime kick-off on Merseyside. The Spaniard was forced off during the recent 3-1 home defeat to Nottingham Forest following a heavy head-on-head collision with Morgan Gibbs-White. While Sanchez underwent stitches and extensive testing at Cobham this week, he has not been cleared to return under the mandatory concussion protocols.
