Chelsea received a blow: Robert Sanchez will miss only one match after the red card.

According to The Sun: Robert Sanchez received a red card during Chelsea's 1-2 defeat to Manchester United last Saturday.

The incident occurred when the goalkeeper rushed out of his penalty area and knocked down Bryan Mbeumo just a few minutes after the match began.

Sanchez was sent off for denying a goal-scoring opportunity.

Despite this, the goalkeeper will return to the pitch when Chelsea faces Brighton on September 27.

Why will Robert Sanchez not miss the match against Brighton?

Sanchez can play against his former club Brighton as he only received a one-match suspension.

He has already missed the winning match 2-1 against Lincoln City in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday evening.

The rules allow serving suspensions in cup matches.

Philip Jørgensen, who replaced him in the game against Lincoln, did not impress with his performance, especially during this tough encounter.

Thus, Sanchez is likely to return to the starting lineup.

Since the red card was not deemed violent behavior, the goalkeeper received only a one-match suspension.

If it had been otherwise, he would have faced a three-match ban.
