Chelsea Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez faces One-Match Ban After Manchester United Red Card
Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez will miss the club’s upcoming Carabao Cup match against Lincoln City after receiving a red card during Thursday’s 3-1 defeat to Manchester United. The dismissal, issued for denying an obvious goalscoring prospect, triggers an automatic one-game suspension.
The incident occurred during the match at Old Trafford, adding to a arduous week for Chelsea following successive defeats. Had the red card been for violent conduct, Sanchez would have faced a minimum three-match ban. rather, he will be eligible to return for Chelsea’s Premier League fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion next weekend.
Sanchez’s absence means he will be unavailable for selection in Chelsea’s next fixture, the Carabao Cup tie against Lincoln on Tuesday night.
