Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen remains unavailable for selection after undergoing a minor surgical procedure to address a groin issue. The 23-year-old Danish international is expected to return to first-team action following the conclusion of the March international break, according to Chelsea. Jorgensen has missed the previous three matches for the West London club since sustaining the injury during training earlier this month.
Robert Sanchez is likely to continue in goal for the Premier League side during Jorgensen's absence. Head coach Enzo Maresca confirmed the medical staff opted for the procedure to ensure a full recovery for the final stage of the season, per Sky Sports. Jorgensen joined Chelsea from Villarreal in the summer and has made 12 appearances across all competitions this term.
The goalkeeper will continue his rehabilitation at the Cobham training centre during the break. Chelsea staff anticipate his return to the matchday squad for the fixture against Brentford on April 4, as reported by The Athletic.
