Cech may not be fit until next season
|
Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has been moved to a hospital closer to his home after making good progress this week.
Cech, 24, had surgery after fracturing his skull in a collision with Reading's Stephen Hunt during Chelsea's 1-0 win at the Madejski Stadium last Saturday.
The Czech, who faces a lengthy lay-off as he recovers, left the Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford on Thursday.
He is now able to walk around on his own and doctors agreed to move him to a hospital nearer to his Surrey home.
A Chelsea statement read: "We can confirm that Petr Cech has been moved from the Radcliffe Infirmary following his successful operation for a depressed fracture of the skull.
"Petr will continue his recovery in a hospital closer to his home.
"Petr's condition is improving every day and he is now walking again unaided.
