On September 24th, the Fans of Chelsea once again tightened their heads for the frustration for the situation of the club’s goalkeepers after Filip Jorgensen accidentally gave a fist to the teammate Wesley Fofana in the face just two minutes from the game.
The bizarre accident occurred during the clash of the third round of the Carabao del Chelsea cup Lincoln City. Jorgensen rushed out to free the ball but ended up hitting Fofana directly in the face.
The 24 -year -old defender fell to the ground for pain and requested medical treatment. The game was briefly interrupted, although fortunately, Fofana was able to continue playing.
The unusual collision immediately became viral on social media. A fan mocked: “Fofana has just returned and Jorgensen has already given him a punch in the face.” Another infuriated: “Sell Jorgensen for any club right now.” A third added in no uncertain terms: “Jorgensen is even worse than Sanchez.”
This was not the first time that the troubles of the Chelsea goalkeeper had made news this season. The first choice custodian Robert Sanchez was strongly criticized for repeated errors, including a reckless red card in the 2-1 defeat a Manchester United September 20. Legend Jamie Carragher has previously observed: “With Sanchez on goal, Chelsea cannot dream of winning the Premier League.”
Jorgensen, a 20.7 million pound summer signature from Villarreal in 2024, has not yet justified its price. While doubts about Sanchez remain, Jorgensen’s performances have left the fans even less convinced, transforming the position of the Chelsea goalkeeper into a large headache for the manager Enzo Maresca.
At the Lner Stadium, Chelsea was left behind after Rob Street gave Lincoln a surprise advantage. However, the young duo Tyrique George and Facundo Buonanotte intensified, inspiring a return that saw the blues advance to the next round.
