Cech injury blow for Blues

turbo_drift SG

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech is a major doubt for Sunday's Premier League clash with Everton.

The Czech Republic international injured his calf in Tuesday's goalless UEFA Champions League tie with Schalke and limped away from the Veltins-Arena on crutches.

Cech was replaced by Carlo Cudicini at half-time and coach Avram Grant admitted he did not know how long the Chelsea No1 would be sidelined for.

Bad

Grant said: "How bad the injury is we need to wait and see.

"It is a calf injury and I asked the doctor if he could continue and he couldn't. But Carlo Cudicini came on and played well."

The result ensured Chelsea remain top of Group B and they now only need to win one of their two remaining games against Valencia at home or away to Rosenborg to qualify for the knockout stage.

Cech sidelined with a torn calf

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech will definitely miss Saturday's home match with Everton after tearing his right calf muscle.

Cech is almost certain to be sidelined for the Czech Republic's forthcoming Euro 2008 qualifiers against Slovakia and Cyprus.

The 25-year-old underwent a scan at Chelsea's Cobham training ground today and a small tear was revealed.

Cech suffered the injury in Tuesday's Champions League draw with Schalke 04.

"It's still early but it's almost certain he will miss the game this weekend," said Chelsea's club doctor Bryan English.

"We will also be liaising with the Czech FA's medical department about Petr's injury. Hopefully the international break will allow time for the injury to improve."
