ChelseaSet to miss multiple weeks
Jorgensen (groin) will be sidelined for multiple weeks, manager Liam Rosenior confirmed Thursday. "Unfortunately, Filip had his scan and needed a minor operation," said Rosenior. "Nothing too serious again, it's a matter of weeks."
Analysis: Jorgensen has had a tough stretch due to injuries, and the latest setback will keep him sidelined again. This comes at a bad time for the goalkeeper, as he had been playing regularly in recent weeks. With Jorgensen out, Robert Sanchez should operate as Chelsea's No. 1 option between the posts until further notice.
Set for scans
Jorgensen (groin) is set for scans on a groin injury and is out for the time being, according to manager Liam Rosenior. "With Filip, he felt something in his groin after the PSG game. We are getting him scanned to find out the full extent of that injury."
Analysis: Jorgensen had just returned from injury to begin the month, but is already back injured, with the goalie now dealing with a groin injury. He will be set for scans in the coming days to decipher the severity of the issue, hopefully not facing another extended absence. This will leave Robert Sanchez to start in net moving forward after Jorgensen was given the start last time out against PSG.
Dealing with groin issues
Jorgensen missed Saturday's clash against Newcastle United due to groin issues and is a doubt for Tuesday's second leg against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, according to coach Liam Rosenior. "Filip felt his groin yesterday and he couldn't train. Hopefully, Filip will be back really, really soon."
Analysis: Jorgensen was unable to train in recent days due to a groin issue and was forced to sit out Saturday's clash against Newcastle United because of it. Coach Liam Rosenior indicated the problem is only minor, meaning the goalkeeper could be back in the mix soon, though he remains a major doubt for Tuesday's Champions League second leg against Paris Saint-Germain. If Jorgensen cannot go, Robert Sanchez is expected to step in and start between the posts.
Allows five goals
Jorgensen had three saves and allowed five goals in Wednesday's 5-2 defeat versus Paris Saint-Germain.
Analysis: Jorgensen made three saves and conceded five goals in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to PSG, enduring a difficult outing after losing possession in his own box, which allowed Vitinha to restore the lead. The goalkeeper, who has recently moved ahead of Robert Sanchez in the pecking order, did not justify that decision in the best way with his performance. The Dane, if he starts, will look to bounce back against Newcastle United on Saturday.
Three saves in victory
Jorgensen recorded three saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 4-1 win versus Aston Villa.
Analysis: Jorgensen made three saves and one clearance Wednesday in his third Premier League appearance (two starts) as Chelsea earned a resounding 4-1 road victory over Aston Villa. The promising young keeper was thrust into the starting XI after head coach Liam Rosenior benched Robert Sanchez. if Jorgensen remains the preferred option, look for him in net Wednesday when Chelsea return to Champions League play versus Paris Saint-Germain.
Bench option
Jorgensen (undisclosed) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Arsenal.
Analysis: Jorgensen is finally back as an option for the club, returning to a bench role after an injury dating back to January. He is likely to continue serving as backup keep for the club moving forward, with Robert Sanchez the preferred option.
Still in rehab
Jorgensen (undisclosed) is not fully fit and still working on his rehabilitation, coach Liam Rosenior said in a press conference, according to Bobby Vincent from Football London. "Filip is not fully fit at the moment. He's working really, really hard on his rehab."
Analysis: Jorgensen is still grinding through rehab after picking up a minor knock against Pafos in the Champions League. He's progressing, but he's not match-ready just yet. There's no clear timeline for his return to the Blues' squad, though his absence doesn't shake the depth chart too much since he primarily serves as the backup to Robert Sanchez.
Out to face Wolves
Jorgensen (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Wolves.
Analysis: Jorgensen remains unavailable to face Wolves on Saturday as he continues to deal with lingering fitness issues. The goalkeeper was not with the club in the last two games across all competitions and is still not ready to return to the squad. That said, his role as the backup keeper limits the immediate impact of his absence.
Eyeing Arsenal match for return
Jorgensen is hoping to be an option for Tuesday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Liam Rosenior. "He's close. He's close to being fit and hopefully it'll be either Arsenal or the game after this."
Analysis: Jorgenson was not with the club for their match over the weekend after some fitness issues, but is already eyeing a return, with the goalie hoping to be an option to face Arsenal on Tuesday, if not, hopefully against Wolves on Saturday. That said, he does serve as their backup keeper, likely to be in a bench role when he returns to the team sheet.
Returns to bench
Jorgensen (undisclosed) is on the bench for Wednesday's clash against Napoli.
Analysis: Jorgensen is named on the bench for Wednesday after missing only one match with a minor injury. He recently picked up the issue during last week's win against Pafos and is now fit enough to find a bench spot. Robert Sanchez keeps his place in goal while Jorgensen provides cover, although the goalkeeper situation remains competitive and the Swedish keeper pushes for the starting spot as he has a better foot play than the Spaniard.
Available going forward
Jorgensen (undisclosed) is in the traveling squad for Wednesday's trip to Napoli.
Analysis: Jorgensen only had to miss one game with a minor injury and will be an option to start as soon as Wednesday. There's still a bit of a battle going on for the top goalkeeper under Liam Rosenior, as Jorgensen got injured in last week's win against Pafos. For now, Robert Sanchez has the job, but Jorgensen should continually push for starts the rest of the way.
Injury minor, out Sunday
Jorgensen (undisclosed) has avoided a serious injury but remains out for Sunday's match against Crystal Palace, according to manager Liam Rosenior. "Jorgensen has had his scan, and it was actually quite positive and not as bad as we first feared. He won't be available for Palace this weekend, but he could potentially be okay for Napoli. Other than that, all is good."
Analysis: Jorgensen went down with an injury in UCL play, and after scans, the goalie has avoided the serious injury first feared, instead appearing to have a positive result. That said, he will miss Sunday against Palace, set to potentially return against Napoli on Jan. 28. He remains a backup and sees most of his time in cup play, with one league start compared to three between UCL and Fa Cup play.
Exits with injury midweek
Jorgensen was forced off with a potential injury in Wednesday's UCL contest versus Pafos, Bobby Vincent of Mirror Sport reports.
Analysis: Jorgensen apparently suffered a knock during the first half of a rare start, with regular first-choice keeper Robert Sanchez taking his place on the field. While he's likely to return to a backup role even if he avoids a severe injury, Jorgensen's absence would limit the team's depth in upcoming matches. In any case, the extent of the issue remains unclear.
Allows one against City
Jorgensen had two saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Manchester City.
Analysis: Jorgensen had to make two saves Sunday while being beaten once, not an awful day for the goalie in his first league start of the season. That said, he has only appeared one other time, playing 84 minutes while allowing two goals and one save. He is likely to return to the bench next contest, as an injured Robert Sanchez is expected to return Wednesday against Fulham.
Concedes once in win
Jorgensen had no saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 5-1 win over Ajax.
Analysis: Jorgensen made his first Champions League start of the season Saturday and he conceded one goal, a Wout Weghorst penalty in the 33rd minute. That was the only shot on target he faced in the match as Ajax's Kenneth Taylor was shown a straight red card in the 17th minute, so Chelsea's attack dominated. Jorgensen will likely go back to the bench in favor of Robert Sanchez for the next two Premier League matches, but he could start again on Nov. 5 at Qarabag in the UCL.
One save after early red card
Jorgensen had one save and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Manchester United.
Analysis: Jorgensen conceded twice in his first appearance of the season after an early red card for Robert Sanchez. He made one save but struggled as his side were down to 10 men. Jorgensen played six games in the Premier League last season, conceding nine goals and keeping one clean sheet.
