Jose Mourinho: 'Petr Cech has been fantastic'

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho reveals that he has been impressed with the behaviour of goalkeeper Petr Cech after he was dropped for the club's opening game against Burnley.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that he has had no problems with goalkeeper Petr Cech since relegating him to the substitutes' bench.

Thibaut Courtois got the nod ahead of Cech for Chelsea's opening match of the season at Burnley, but despite the Czech international being linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge, Mourinho has described Cech's behaviour as "fantastic".

The 51-year-old told reporters: "Petr is a top professional, he's been working as always. His behaviour has been fantastic."

Cech is expected to remain on the bench when Chelsea host Leicester City on Saturday afternoon.
