RC Strasbourg manager Liam Rosenior has heaped praise on Chelsea loanee Djordje Petrovic, describing him as a "world-class goalkeeper" hours after Robert Sanchez's costly mistake in Chelsea's loss to Manchester City, according to Football London. Petrovic has been impressing in his loan spell at Strasbourg, and Rosenior's comments have sparked speculation about his future at Chelsea.
"We have seen huge progress from Petrovic," Rosenior said. "He is a world-class goalkeeper. We see it every day and it is still paying off today." Rosenior's praise for Petrovic comes after the goalkeeper's impressive display in Strasbourg's 2-1 Ligue 1 home win over LOSC Lille. Petrovic has made 16 league appearances for Strasbourg this season, keeping three clean sheets and conceding 25 goals.
Rosenior's comments are a significant endorsement of Petrovic's abilities, and will likely add to the pressure on Robert Sanchez, who has been struggling with mistakes in recent games. Sanchez's error against Manchester City was his fifth leading to a goal in the Premier League this season, and has raised questions about his reliability.
Petrovic's loan spell at Strasbourg has been successful, and he has been gaining valuable experience and playing time. His performance has also sparked interest from other clubs, and it remains to be seen whether Chelsea will recall him or allow him to continue his development at Strasbourg.
