Enzo Maresca has admitted Robert Sanchez is far from the standards Chelsea want him to be and has advised the under-fire first-choice goalkeeper to deal with criticism from fans.

The Spaniard has been heavily criticised by the Blues for his performances and was jeered whenever he received the ball in the second half of Monday’s 3-1 win at Wolves after making a mistake that led to the equaliser. Asked about the boos

“He has to deal with those moments,” Maresca said. “He is improving, but he is still far from where I would like him to be.”

“It’s experience for him. He has to improve also to deal with that kind of moment during a game at home where the fans, for any reason, are not happy. He has to manage that moment.

“I didn’t speak with Robert. I consider that kind of moment part of our job. You have to learn that you have to deal with that. It’s already happened in the past with Robert, and he did quite well.”

The use of the word ‘far away’ three times prompted questions about whether the 27-year-old will still be a regular in the team’s next season. Maresca replied: “For this season? No doubt about it. “

But in the future we don’t know. It’s not just about Robert, it’s about me too. I am focused on this moment and this season. Robert is getting better, but he is still far from where I would like him to be.”
