It looked a bit gruesome when it happened, but the injury to keeper Petr Cech is not that bad. During Chelsea’s match with Everton, the Czech number one collided with his own teammate William Gallas and went down hard. “I went for the ball and I felt the pain and at first I thought my leg was broken,” Cech was quoted as saying on Chelsea’s official website on Tuesday. “I had quite a big cut on my leg and I had 10 stitches. It was painful but there is nothing serious so it is good news for me. Everyone is positive about it and I think I will be ready for the next game.”

Good news indeed. I don’t know about you, but the next few weeks I will be holding my breath that no one gets injured.
