Petr Cech has already retired from professional football in the summer of 2019 after spending four years with Arsenal. Cech then joined the Blues again on Lampard’s request but as a technical advisor and performance director.
But the shocking news was yet to come which surprised the fans. Coach Lampard named Petr Cech in his 25 man squad for the Premier League. Chelsea fans were surprised and also elated to hear the news as lamaprd termed it as an emergency back up for his team’s goalkeepers.
Earlier Cech was reported to join in the initial phase of the campaign with the goalkeepers of Chelsea but little was made of it at the time. It was assumed that he was asked to train the struggling Chelsea No.1 keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga and bring back to proper shape and confidence.
But news has emerged that Cech is in contention to play against the Manchester United match tomorrow as well as the following fixtures.
Although Mendy can get a nod ahead of him, the possibility can’t be ruled out. Cech has competitions with two more keepers in the name of Kep and Willy Caballero.

It’s so easy to forget he’s younger than Caballero, and looks in excellent shape.
He’s also another great leader to have in the squad, alongside Thiago Silva. So much experience. pic.twitter.com/yKLOotGnSc
