Overview
- Chelsea scheduled staged concussion assessments at Cobham for Robert Sanchez after Monday's defeat to Nottingham Forest, leaving his status for Liverpool uncertain.
- The goalkeeper was bandaged after a clash of heads with Morgan Gibbs-White and was substituted for Filip Jorgensen.
- Under FA return-to-play rules, a failed test triggers at least 12 days of rest, which would likely rule him out of Anfield.
- Premier League records did not mark Sanchez or Gibbs-White as concussion substitutions, with Forest defender Zach Abbott the only official concussion sub from the match.
- Nottingham Forest will test Gibbs-White before their Europa League semi-final second leg at Villa Park, as his stitched head wound still needs formal clearance.
