Goalkeeper Petr Cech is ready to come back to active play, according to former Chelsea shot-stopper Mark Schwarzer.
Shwarzer claims that Cech is indeed a better keeper than Chelsea’s despite being part of the club’s 25-man Premier League squad this season.
The 38-year-old who has not yet appeared in a comparative game for more than a year, according to Shwarzer, is going to be the club’s fourth-ranked keeper this season.
“I spoke to him two weeks ago and we were talking about lots of different things, talking about Mendy, Kepa and himself training. And he just was saying that he felt so good.
“He said to me that, had he have known that having time off he would have felt so good, he would have only had six months off and wouldn’t have retired.
“He actually believes he’s fit enough and strong enough and good enough still to play in the Premier League. So it’s an interesting one because he’s caught in two jobs at the moment, he’s Chelsea’s Technical and Performance Advisor and that his number one role.
“But if an opportunity came along that was of interest to him, I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw Petr Cech coming back out of retirement and playing somewhere. I’m not saying it’s going to happen, but it would not be a shock to me if that happened,” Schwarzer told Optus Sports.
Petr Cech won 15 trophies and kept 228 clean sheets for Chelsea from 2004 to 2015.
He retired from football in 2019.
