Chelsea and Kendry Paez want a period of adaptation in Europe before he turns 18, confirms Sport Director of IDV Luis Saritama :

“Last week we talked to Kendry Páez, there are two possibilities. There is a request from Chelsea for the player to have an adaptation period in Europe. We are analyzing it with its representation agency and the club that owns its rights."

“On the 17th or 20th of this month Kendry will make his first trip to Europe, what predominates here is the decision of club and player, the intention of both is to have a period of adaptation already before he turns 18”

“I would not rule out that Kendry is not playing these months with us”

Nico Jackson will be out of action through injury until April.

Jackson, who has scored nine and assisted for four more this season per transfermarkt, won’t be back until the match against Tottenham on April 2 at the very earliest.

Maresca reveals Chelsea No. 1 ‘keeper as Sanchez ‘recovers mentally and physically’ from errors

Jorgensen started in between the sticks for the Blues’ next league match against West Ham and is now Maresca’s first-choice in the Premier League moving forward.

“I said that the Filip solution was also to give Robert some time to recover mentally and physically,” Maresca told reporters on Thursday.

“But the idea is not to game by game change the keeper. In the last Premier League game we had Filip and in the FA Cup it was Robert. Our keeper at the moment is Filip.

“I spoke with Robert a few days before West Ham where I took the decision to play Filip. I never spoke again with Robert. Filip, exactly the same.

“They know the situation. This is the situation now and then we will see.”
