I read this on the official website a couple of hours ago,going to Wembley with Hilario as keeper isn't great but things could be worse.

fuck sake.

we should give that youngster we signed last season a shot, if cech will be out.

And away we go with the injury list adding......

[Ray. 217]

I think we shouldn't panic too much, it says a slight calf problem so it may not be too serious. Just got to wait to see what the results of the scan say.

he didn`t seem that bothered by it when interviewed on ChelseaTV after it had happened...Daily Snail just as usual,making a mountain out of a mole hill.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Ah, not again. We'll have to wait for scan results, Chelsea don't make it sound too serious so it could just be nothing, let's hope for the best though

[Madmax 9,219]

In the worst case scenario if Cech is injured for the said period and misses a couple of games, one person I don't want to see between the sticks is Hilario.

i can hardly trust what Carlo said..he said that cech was ok three days ago.

[EskWeston 696]

Blimey the media have some excellent injury knowledge, they can tell how long a player will be out even before a scan and without knowing how the injury happened.

I don't think it's serious and it didn't look like Cech was too worried about, pre season the club is extra cautious with injuries.

[Steve 10,227]

Watching Chelsea TV last night, no one seemed too worried about it. Lets hope he is ok!

[NattyBlue 44]

Get well soon Petr, why is it always his calf?

I pref Ross in goal now I think...(as opposed to Hilario)

[Manuf 1,448]

I hope this will mean a chance for Delac and Turnbull to step up. Hope Hilario leaves. Everytime I see this man between the posts I'm affraid like if we were playing with Jabulani.

[Blueboy 14]

Let's wait and see. The club didn't make too much of a fuss out of it, so i don't foresee any big problems.

BREAKING NEWS

Scans have shown Petr Cech has torn a calf muscle in his right leg and the goalkeeper is expected to be out for a month.

Cech, 28, suffered the injury yesterday in training and is now expected to miss the start of our competitive season, as well as the remainder of our pre-season friendlies, the next of which comes at Ajax on Friday. The Czech Republic's Player of the Year sat out for a month during February and March earlier this year with a similar injury sustained at Inter in the Champions League, before going on to play a major role in our Double success, making an incredible save from Frederic Piquionne in the FA Cup Final.
