Petr Cech could be out of football for a month with calf injury

Czech national goalkeeper Petr Cech could be out of football for up to a month with a calf injury sustained on Tuesday night. Mr Cech picked up the injury when playing for his team Chelsea in a Champions League match against German team Schalke. On Wednesday, Mr Cech underwent a series of scans to discern whether he would need surgery on the leg. If an operation is required, Petr Cech could be out for up to a month, which would be a major defensive blow for Chelsea, who currently have John Terry, Paulo Ferreira and Ashley Cole all sidelined.
