Chelsea await Cech update
Goalkeeper Petr Cech underwent surgery for a depressed fracture of the skull after being knocked unconscious in Chelsea's victory at Reading on Saturday.
Cech was injured in a first-minute collision with Stephen Hunt at the Madejski Stadium and his replacement, Carlo Cudicini, was also later knocked out following a collision with Ibrahima Sonko.
A statement from Chelsea, released to PA Sport, read: "Chelsea Football Club can confirm that Petr Cech was transferred to the Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford last night (Saturday) to the specialist neuro-surgical unit. He underwent surgery for a depressed fracture of the skull."
The statement continued: "The operation was successful but it is too early to give an accurate assessment of his condition.
"Naturally everybody at Chelsea wishes Petr, and Carlo Cudicini - who was discharged last night after being knocked unconscious - a speedy recovery from their injuries.
"Chelsea FC has reviewed the video of both incidents. We endorse the post-match comments of Jose Mourinho regarding the seriousness of these incidents.
"Chelsea will be writing to the Football Association with our observations."
