Cech the teamsheet! Chelsea set to play Petr Cech, the club's technical and performance director, in Premier League 2 fixture against Tottenham

Petr Cech is set to make a sensational return to the pitch for Chelsea as he is set to play for the development squad against Tottenham in a Premier League 2 fixture on Monday.

Chelsea's technical and performance director has not played competitively since the Europa League final in May 2019, but has been keeping fit and training with Frank Lampard's squad after he was registered as emergency cover in their Premier League squad list in October.

After hanging up his boots, Cech kept active by partaking in another passion of his in ice hockey, but he is now back in the picture at Cobham and is set to put on his gloves once again, according to the Athletic.
