Reports have claimed that summer signing Djordje Petrovic is still very happy being at Chelsea right now.
According to the Evening Standard, the 24-year-old has no qualms with his place at the club despite not yet making an appearance.
Petrovic joined the club for a relatively low fee this summer despite already having plenty of experience at top level football.
He established himself as the best goalkeeper in the MLS before his move, which saw some think he could walk straight in between the sticks at Stamford Bridge.
This has not been the case up to now though. Robert Sanchez has played every minute since the season got underway.
This has resulted in the 24-year-old being yet to prove himself to new manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Petrovic happy at Chelsea
The manager has gone on record with his backing of the Spaniard, however it is hard to deny that he has struggled at times to convince everyone in Stamford Bridge of his abilities.
Petrovic therefore could be soon given the chance to stake his claim for a more regular role at Stamford Bridge.
Tonight’s EFL Cup tie against Blackburn Rovers could see him handed that chance in an environment that is kept hidden away from the pressures of the Premier League.
It is expected that a few changes will be made to the squad in order to avoid overload to some of those who have played every game.
This also includes Benoit Badiashile, who is also yet to grace the pitch since the injury he suffered at the back-end of last season.
Tonight should definitely be the chance for Petrovic to show his credentials as a potential future number one at Stamford Bridge.
