Chelsea 'keeper Thibaut Courtois will make way for Petr Cech on Saturday against Hull City after picking up a minor muscular injury during a training session.
Manager Jose Mourinho didn't reveal where exactly the injury occurred and a timetable for Courtois' return has not been announced.
The Portuguese boss went on to express his confidence in Cech, despite the accomplished 'keeper spending the majority of his time on the bench this season in favour of Courtois.
Saturday's match will be Cech's first Premier League start of the season and his second appearance after coming on for Coutois when the Belgian 'keeper suffered a head injury against Arsenal in October.
