"Robert Sanchez suffered a head injury in Chelsea's defeat to Nottingham Forest. The Spain international collided with Morgan Gibbs-White during the 3-1 reversal as Chelsea endured their fourth straight Premier League loss of the current campaign. Sanchez had to be substituted midway through the second half of the Stamford Bridge encounter with Filip Jorgensen replacing him after the coming together."
"According to the Evening Standard, Chelsea plan to follow concussion protocols ahead of their trip to Anfield in order to fully assess Sanchez's capability to return to goal. Should the 28-year-old fail any of the test stages, he will be ordered to observe a rest period of at least 12 days under the Football Association's 'return to play' guidelines."
"His premature departure has now cast doubt over how much of the Blues' season run-in, which includes the FA Cup final against Manchester City on 16 May, he could miss. Although Sanchez's withdrawal was not logged as a concussion substitution with the Premier League, he is a doubt for the Premier League showdown with Liverpool."
Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez suffered a head injury after colliding with Morgan Gibbs-White during the club's 3-1 Premier League loss to Nottingham Forest. He was substituted in the second half with Filip Jorgensen replacing him. Chelsea will follow concussion protocols before their Liverpool match to assess Sanchez's fitness. If he fails testing stages, he must observe at least 12 days rest under FA guidelines. His injury casts doubt over his availability for key fixtures, including the FA Cup final against Manchester City on May 16. Chelsea currently sits four points off sixth place with three games remaining and could still secure Champions League qualification through alternative routes.
