Manchester United legend Gary Neville has expressed sympathy for one struggling Chelsea star.

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has expressed sympathy for Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sánchez, who has struggled to find form this season.

Despite securing the starting spot at the beginning of the season, Sánchez has made several high-profile mistakes, leading to his recent demotion to the bench.

Neville believes it will be challenging for Sánchez to regain his place in the starting XI, especially with Jørgensen now given the opportunity to impress.

"It's too early to say maybe, and it's very early in his career as well," Neville told Sky Sports.

"I have got some sympathy for Sánchez, and I hope that Jørgensen does well. On Sánchez, I thought he was left in for too long in the end. I thought he could have been brought out earlier."

Neville highlighted the difficulties Sánchez faces in regaining his confidence. "It's now a case where it's difficult to get him back in because that confidence breaks as a goalkeeper. How do you build it back up? It can take a long time."
