Concedes one in final loss
Sanchez recorded four saves and one goal allowed in Saturday's 1-0 FA Cup loss to Manchester City.
Analysis: Sanchez had some decent work to do Saturday as he tried to keep City out of the back of the net, recording four saves in the process. However, he still would allow a late goal, although on a shot not many keepers in the world would save. He should remain the starter heading into the final two games of the campaign, recording nine clean sheets, 44 goals allowed and 91 saves in 33 appearances in league play this campaign.
Makes starting XI
Sanchez (concussion) is in the starting XI for Saturday's FA Cup final against Manchester City.
Analysis: Sanchez reclaimed his place between the posts after missing the last match following the concussion sustained against Nottingham Forest, with coach Calum McFarlane's hopeful words ahead of the showpiece fixture proving well-founded as the Spanish goalkeeper is cleared in time for one of the biggest matches of the season. His return sees Filip Jorgensen revert to a backup option, with the coaching staff getting their first-choice shot-stopper back at the most important moment of the campaign. His ability to recover from a concussion in time for an FA Cup final is a significant relief for Chelsea heading into Saturday's showpiece occasion at Wembley.
