Townsend urges Alonso to replace Sanchez at Chelsea
Andy Townsend, a former Chelsea midfielder, has advised Xabi Alonso, the newly appointed manager of Chelsea FC, to replace goalkeeper Robert Sanchez in the starting lineup. Townsend expressed his concerns about Sanchez's reliability, stating that he believes Sanchez will let Alonso down in critical moments.
Alonso is set to take charge of Chelsea in July after signing a four-year deal with the club, following the dismissal of Liam Rosenior. Townsend's comments were made during an interview with BetVictor, where he noted that Sanchez has produced two better performances recently but still feels that he is prone to mistakes that could affect the team's success.
