'99 per cent in my head': Pochettino on goalkeeping conundrum for Carabao Cup final

Robert Sanchez was not in the Chelsea squad for the Manchester City game last weekend for personal reasons — but he can be back for the Carabao Cup final, forcing Mauricio Pochettino to decide between him and Djordje Petrovic.

"Yes, [I have decided] who is in goal and 99 per cent of my team is in my head," Pochettino said.

"No, [I haven’t told them] anything can happen and I prefer to tell them tomorrow or after tomorrow."

In Sanchez's absence, Petrovic has acquitted himself pretty well — but the Spaniard was a clear No.1 prior to his injury.
