Mourinho: Cech staying, Schwarzer to Leicester

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Chelsea manager José Mourinho has spoken about the Blues' goalkeeping options following today's 3-0 FA Cup win over Watford.

With Petr Cech starting and putting in a solid performance, the Chelsea manager confirmed in his post-match news conference that the Czech international, with 224 clean sheets to his name in his Blues career, would be staying put until the end of the season at least.

Cech's status as number two to Thibaut Courtois has led to Mark Schwarzer - statistically the man with the third-most clean sheets in Premier League history - becoming almost a forgotten man at Stamford Bridge.

Schwarzer has been touted for a move to Leicester City, which was today confirmed by the Portuguese manager, who commended the Australian for his professionalism (though the club's official Twitter page managed to misspell the Australian's name...):

With Schwarzer departing, Mourinho has confirmed that youngster Jamal Blackman's loan deal at Middlesbrough will be terminated, and that Blackman will come in to offer goalkeeping cover after just one appearance for the Teeside club - in their penalty shoot-out defeat to Liverpool in September.

Big P returns to goal!

(because Courtois did his fingers in, right?)

Thibaut was on the bench today so I'm presuming he's fine.
