Petr Cech out for a month

[boshman 1,073]

By the sounds of it, it doesn't look good for him (or us). If it's ligament damage then he could be out for the season. Cech has been getting back to the form of old in the last few games. Hilario is a reliable No.2 but he is no Cech. What do people think about this?

just another stroke of atrocious bad luck ,,,just get on and deal with it

[boshman 1,073]

Just been watching the highlights on Sky Sports 1 and they say that it might be a calf injury, hope it is, he won't be out for as long with a calf injury than a ligament injury.

Damn, this sucks! I pray he is okay.

[The Big Drog 1,110]

Hopefully he is ok , after an indifferent start to the season he has really started to hit his stride in the last few games. Hilario is an ok number 2 but the man seriously needs to sort out his kicking.

A great possibility of going to the transfer market to get a new keeper if his injury is the worst possible?

I bet the tabloids will create a transfer saga of nonsense of us fighting for Robert Green's signature or some other keeper.

[Blueboy 14]

And he was in such great form, comes at a very unfortunate moment (wich injury doesn't..). Hope Hilario does a proper job in goal and doesn't get injured, please no Turnbull

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

Sky sports says he will be out for only 1 month, thank god for that.

[Laylabelle 9,407]

Meh least we have Hilaro.Mean he does make odd mistakes but so does Cech.And when he played against Scum and Barca there were a lot of fears but he managed just fine.Just needs to communitcate and not do weird kick and things and volia

But least (touch wood) anyway Cech only out for a month..just dont get injured long time in that time Hilaro!

Hilario can be great as well like he proved against Liverpool.

[Kez 2,727]

He wont miss any major matches, just inter. Lets hope Hilario can step up like he did earlier in the season. It could of been alot worse.

[diskoviolente 425]

Hilario is a good back-up keeper, but now, i´d love to have Cudicini as the first 2nd choice keeper.

I am sure Hilario won´t disappoint us.

[Ray. 217]

If something were to happen to Hilario heaven forbid, then it would be Ross Turnbull's turn to step in wouldn't it? Don't think he's played a first team match yet has he?

He has, he played for 70 minutes against Bolton in the league cup when Hilario got injured and also played the home game against APOEL in the Champions League.

& I would feel very uncomfortable with him in goal

[Steve 10,227]

Very bad news for petr. He was hitting form and had been man of the match in 2 of our last 3 games. He has made some crucial saves to keep us in games. Lets hope for a speedy recovery and hopefully he backs before the 4 week lay off.

[boshman 1,073]

Didn't turn out as bad as first feared. Only out for 3-4 weeks, thank god for that! The only major games he will miss is the Citeh game (if yuu class that as major) and the Inter second leg. Like Steve said though, hopefully he is back before the 4 weeks.

Inter second leg is a major match
