PETR CECH popped up in Chelsea training this week – leading to fans dreaming of the Czech legend’s return.
Kepa Arrizabalaga is about to be ousted by new signing Edouard Mendy but will play in Sunday’s game against Liverpool.

In preparation for the Stamford Bridge clash, former Blues No1 Cech showed up at Cobham.
The 38-year-old holds the role of technical and performance advisor to Frank Lampard’s team.
And he insisted the Spaniard, 25, will come good in West London after failing to impress following a world record move.
Cech told Sport.CZ last month: “Kepa struggled last season, that is unquestionable.
“But the club invested in him and gave him a long-term contract because they believe he has the qualities and attributes to be successful.”
Chelsea fans were excited to see Cech, complete with trademark helmet, lend a hand to Kepa ahead of Mendy’s £27million arrival.
Although some hoped the four-time title winner would step in for the huge game versus Liverpool.
Twitter user Kofi commented: “Petr Cech Returns.”
Oli posted: “You know what’s coming when Petr Cech decides to take things personal.”
One Blues account wrote: “Goalkeeper for tomorrow sorted.”
While another tweeted: “Petr Cech has been spotted in training! Kepa is 100% winning the Golden Glove this season.”
One fan posted: “It’s good he went down to train Kepa himself. Love that. Kepa will come good soon. Plus the Mendy competition will help.”
