Petr Cech makes shock Chelsea comeback

Chelsea have included Petr Cech in their 25-man Premier League squad as “emergency goalkeeper cover”, despite his previous retirement from football in 2019.

The 38-year-old joined Chelsea’s coaching staff last year as a technical and performance advisor following his retirement, and has been training with the Blues in recent months.

Cech is the fourth goalkeeper named on Chelsea’s roster, joining Kepa Arrizabalaga, Edouard Mendy and Willy Caballero.

The club has attempted to play down Cech’s inclusion, saying the move was “precautionary” and related to the coronavirus pandemic.

“Petr Cech has been included in the squad as emergency goalkeeper cover,” a statement on Chelsea’s website read.
