Football: Čech shows up for training just days after operation

Star keeper Petr Čech surprisingly showed up for training with football club Chelsea just days after undergoing surgery. Earlier, the keeper needed fifty stitches and corrective surgery to prevent scarring after a collision with a fellow team mate left deep cuts to his face. Čech said that he could not risk physical contact yet but could otherwise prepare for his return. Chelsea faces the close of the English football season as well as a semi-final match-up against Liverpool in the Champions League.
