The Blues loaned out the Serbia goalkeeper to French Ligue 1 side Strasbourg this season and has been a revelation for the Tod Boehly-owned team.

The 24-year-old has three senior caps with Serbia after making just one appearance with the Under-21 side.

It remains to be seen if Petrovic can live up to his billing with Blues already stocked with many goalkeepers. Chelsea also signed Mike Penders from Genk and remained with the club on loan for one more season.
Maresca has publicly defended Sanchez after some horror displays, the latest being against Brighton, something that was not witnessed when Petrovic guarded the Chelsea goal.
