Chelsea Rescued From Injury Worries

Chelsea’s goal keepeer Peter Cech has been withdrawn from the Czech Republic squad after injury concerns over his elbow and it was believed that the keeper needed a surgery to recover. But the Czech Republic doctors immediately played down the fears as they confirm that the keeper only needs a rest and the surgery can be done after the season comes to a conclusion. 

Cech will have surgery in elbow after the season ends

The Chelsea goalkeeper has been told that he can play through the problem, which is a thickening of the bone in the joint, this season unless the problem worsens. And after a request from Chelsea to drop the player ahead of tonight’s clash against Finland,  Czech Republic have replaced the Blues no 1. Commenting on the situation, Czech national team doctor Petr Krejci said:

“An investigation showed a bit of ossification in his elbow, so they [Chelsea] are planning a surgery in England after the season, They have very kindly asked us if we could rest him in friendly fixtures. We have come to an agreement with coach Michal Bilek and decided to be on good terms with Chelsea. We are going to grant their wish and rest him. Peter cannot stretch the arm properly. If he has to stretch the elbow, it hurts him sometimes. There is nothing to be worried about, though. There is basically nothing that could make this problem worse. The only thing that could force an immediate surgery is if the intensity of pain would get much higher or if the elbow was blocked in some way.”
