Chelsea faces decisions on Robert Sanchez amid transfer speculation

Summary

Chelsea is evaluating its goalkeeper situation after Robert Sanchez's strong season left management uncertain about future plans.

The club is considering recalling young Mike Penders from loan to provide competition, although the lack of European football may hinder his development.
