Robert Sanchez has posted a message on Instagram after Chelsea's defeat to Manchester United on Saturday evening.
Chelsea slipped to their first defeat of the season in the Premier League as they lost 2-1 on a miserable afternoon in Manchester.
The loss means Chelsea's wait for a first win since 2013 at Old Trafford continues, and it leaves them eight points behind leaders Liverpool after just five games.
Enzo Maresca started both Estevao and Cole Palmer for the first time, but that was short lived after an awful start for the Blues.

It's not the first time Sanchez has made a costly error, and Maresca shared his thought on the incident after the game.
Sanchez has come in for heavy criticism during his time at the club, and this latest incident will do little to change people's perception of him.
Filip Jorgensen will replace Sanchez whilst he's suspended, but the Spain international took to Instagram to apologise after the game.
He wrote:
"On me today guys, big sorry for that, team put a massive effort on the second half but couldn't get there."
The latest Sanchez incident has once again thrown into the spotlight Chelsea's decision not to sign a goalkeeper in the summer.
The Blues had the opportunity to sign Mike Maignan, but refused to meet AC Milan's asking price, a decision which now isn't looking to good.

Jorgensen should have done better for the second United goal, and didn't come for a cross which he should have done.
As a result the spotlight will once again be on the decision makers for not addressing an obvious weakness in the squad.
