Cech back at training ground

Last updated : 27 October 2006 By Paul Lagan
Petr Cech returned to the training ground at Cobham yersterday to say thank you to the players and staff.

Following his horror injury and subsequent operation, Cech popped into the ground and was given a fantastic reception.
He said "I am okay. I feel better and I am improving and I am happy to be here at the training ground to see the lads. After that the mood is getting better as well.
"Sometimes it is difficult because you wake up and you have a horrible headache so you have to take your medication.

"I just try to live with that and every day it is going to get better. When I was able to go home, the mood was better.

As for the incident, he said: "I remember the warm-up, I remember all the way from the hotel to the stadium because usually I always take the programme and I read a little bit. I go around the pitch, I want to see what the pitch is looking like and I did that.

"After I remember the warm-up with Silvinho, Carlo and Hilario. The last thing I remember is going out of the dressing room, ready with the kit. The shake hands is the last thing I remember because JT lost the toss and I had to run to the other side and that is the last thing.

"I don't even remember the kick-off and I don't remember the incident.

I have seen it on TV once and I don't want to speak about this for the moment. Because even for me it is very difficult, but the club is dealing with it at the moment. I am just concentrating on coming back to fitness."

It's a good start, Peter - keep it up.
