Robert Sanchez has five Premier League clean sheets to his name.

Graham Potter has been impressed with Robert Sanchez's form for Albion.

The 23-year-old has made 12 Premier League appearances since his debut at Tottenham in November, keeping an impressive five clean sheets.

“Robert is growing in confidence the more games he's playing and as a result he's getting better and better,” Potter said. “From the start we've believed in his potential, his attributes and in what he can do. The only thing he lacked was time on the pitch.

“He was really good last Saturday against Burnley, not just shot-stopping but also aerially. We have to keep working with him and hopefully he can keep taking steps forward.”

Michal Karbownik and Jakub Moder made their debuts for Albion in the 1-0 defeat to Leicester City in the Emirates FA Cup on Wednesday, and Potter is delighted with how the Polish pair have settled in.

Michal Karbownik made his Albion debut on Wednesday night.

“Michal and Jakub were a positive for us because they haven't played for a while. We're getting to know them and they're getting to know us. But it was a good game for them to go into, they acquitted themselves well.

“But with the greatest of respect to Wednesday, the Premier League is another step up.

“But it showed that they have got exciting futures and we're happy to have them with us. They will get better the more they get used to their surroundings.”
