After Chelsea announced the signing of MLS New England Revolution goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic, many thought the Serbian could make his debut for the Blues against Wimbledon in the Carabao Cup.
However, Mauricio Pochettino at the pre-match press conference denied that the new signing would be playing in a Chelsea shirt for the first time as they had not yet given the green light for him to feature for the Blues.
"I am going to play Sanchez, I can confirm that because we still have not had the confirmation if Petrovic is available or not," said the Argentinian coach.
"We need confirmation [over the work permit]. We don’t know if we can use him tomorrow, that is why we prepared for the game with Robert," he concluded.
