Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino insists he wasn't sending a message to Robert Sanchez with his squad named for defeat to Brentford.
The Blues lost 2-0, with two goalkeepers named on the bench.
The Argentine later explained: "No, not really. It's because we lose yesterday Mudryk and Enzo at the last moment.
" Alex Matos and Deivid Washington, the plan was yesterday to play at 7 o'clock with the under-21 and we stopped them to play, they came with us. We didn't have another player, only to take another from the under-21 but they were playing also.
"That is why there are three keepers. Too many injured players and we didn't have more."
