Like his fellow injury-plagued Czech goalkeeper Petr Kouba a decade ago, Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Čech is definitely cursed.
First, he nearly lost his life when Reading's Stephen Hunt kneed him in the head in a dubious challenge earlier in the season. The result, a rugby-style head gear for Cech, and a spat between his sponsor Adidas and New Zealand sporting goods manufacturer Canterbury, which made the head gear for Cech.
Then, in a training session while recovering from an ankle injury in recent weeks, he collided with teammate Tal Ben Haim and suffered a deep gash on his cheek and lips, which needed some 50 stitches to close. When he made his shocking return against Wigan, he had to put on a mask over his cheek and lips IN ADDITION TO the head gear.
At this rate, he will be wearing a full-face helmet in a game very soon.
