​Schwarzer: Cech told me he's ready for Premier League after Chelsea training | OneFootball

Former Chelsea shot-stopper Mark Schwarzer believes Petr Cech is performing better than the other keepers at the club.

Cech was a surprise inclusion in the 25-man Premier League squad for the Blues for this season. He has not played since retiring over a year ago.

But the 38-year-old has been in training and looks sharp, and will be the club's fourth choice keeper this season.

"I spoke to him two weeks ago and we were talking about lots of different things, talking about Mendy, Kepa and himself training," Schwarzer told Optus Sports.

"And he just was saying that he felt so good.

"He said to me that, had he have known that having time off he would have felt so good, he would have only had six months off and wouldn't have retired.

"He actually believes he's fit enough and strong enough and good enough still to play in the Premier League.

"So it's an interesting one because he's caught in two jobs at the moment, he's Chelsea's Technical and Performance Advisor and that his number one role.

"But if an opportunity came along that was of interest to him, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Petr Cech coming back out of retirement and playing somewhere. I'm not saying it's going to happen, but it would not be a shock to me if that happened."
