Injury Blow For Chelsea Keeper Petr Cech

Chelsea's hopes of capturing a treble this season have been dealt a blow with the news that Petr Cech will be out for up to a month.

The goalkeeper suffered a tear in a calf muscle during his side's Champions League match against Inter Milan, meaning he will miss the return leg.

Carlo Ancelotti's men were beaten in Italy on Wednesday, but take a vital away goal back to Stamford Bridge as they seek to overturn the 2-1 deficit.

However, Cech will be absent from the match on March 16th, as well as the FA Cup quarter-final against Stoke City next weekend.

Chelsea are currently sitting at the top of the Premier League table, one point ahead of champions Manchester United and with a game in hand.

Totesport(Go to Totesport ») prices them at 4/7 to take the title, while 888Sport(Go to 888sport ») offers odds of 12/1 that Ancelotti's side will be victorious in all three competitions.
