The Argentine revealed this in a pre-match conference which was held on Tuesday, August 29, 2023, ahead of the game which will be played at Stamford Bridge. Mauricio Pochettino confirmed that Robert Sanchez will be played because Petrovic Djordje still has issues with his work permit.
“I am going to play Sanchez tomorrow and we do not have the confirmation for the permit, We do not know if we can use him tomorrow. We prepare the game with Robert. He ( Djordje) needs more time to train and understand the way we are going to play, with Toni Jimenez and Hilario but we no do want to rush also. He could be on the bench because of the permit. It has not arrived.”
