Injured Cech making good
progress
Cech may not be fit until next season
Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has been moved to a hospital closer to
his home after making good progress this week.
Cech, 24, had surgery after fracturing his skull in a collision
with Reading's Stephen Hunt during Chelsea's 1-0 win at the
Madejski Stadium last Saturday.
The Czech, who faces a lengthy lay-off as he recovers, left the
Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford on Thursday.
He is now able to walk around on his own and doctors agreed to move
him to a hospital nearer to his Surrey home.
A Chelsea statement read: "We can confirm that Petr Cech has been
moved from the Radcliffe Infirmary following his successful
operation for a depressed fracture of the skull.
"Petr will continue his recovery in a hospital closer to his
home.
"Petr's condition is improving every day and he is now walking
again unaided.
"Everyone at Chelsea FC, his wife Martina and his family would like
to pay tribute to the surgeons and staff at the Radcliffe and Royal
Berkshire hospitals for the first-class care they have provided
over the last six days."
