Petr Cech: Passed Over for Opener
Cech is available off the bench for Chelsea's Premier League opener against Burnley on Monday, but he will likely not play with Thibaut Courtois getting the start.
Analysis:
The goalkeeper battle is a tough one for manager Jose Mourinho, who seemed to give himself a small out by saying his World Cup players may not feature Monday. However, he threw caution to the wind and is starting Eden Hazard, Andre Schurrle, Oscar and Courtois, who appears close to clinching the job over Cech, who could be seeing his long and storied career at Stamford Bridge coming to an end.
