Chelsea keeper Cech speaks of
massive improvements
tribalfooball.com - December 12, 2006
Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech is hoping to return to full training
next month after fracturing his skull against Reading in
October.
Chelsea's club doctor Bryan English warned that it takes at least
three months for a skull fracture to heal and Cech is aiming for a
return to full training next month.
Cech told the club's official website: "Last week I spent a whole
day in Oxford with the surgeon for some consultations and some
tests. We are still waiting for the report from that but as far as
I am concerned, we are looking very positive and very well.
"Especially the brain is working very well and I haven't lost
anything I had so for the moment it is looking very well.
"There is still time to go with the skull fracture because it has
not healed and I have to be patient with that, but hopefully that
will go quickly as well.
"It is looking like that, about the middle of January, I will be
able to start training in the goal. So I will just try to enjoy the
time with my family, enjoy the time with the lads at the training
ground and now I have plenty of time to work."
Cech added: "I feel better, improving every day. I can start
training a little bit in the gym and the swimming pool so it makes
me feel a lot better.
"It has been a great week the last week because I could start
working, I could even start to play tennis. I can be at the
training ground and see the people I like to see, and that is
better for my confidence and better for my feelings. I hope this
way I can make it back earlier than expected.
"Of course I am tired when I do the training session because my
body is still a little bit tired.
"But this has improved massively because I can work twice a day and
at the end of the day, I am tired but I am tired because of the
work, not just because of the walking. So it has been great to
discover this."
be back soon !
