Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech was forced to withdraw from international duty with a finger injury yesterday and could miss Chelsea's next match against Wigan on Saturday.

A club statement read: "Petr Cech is returning to Chelsea due an injured finger and will not take part in Czech Republic's fixture. He will be assessed at Cobham by the club's medical department."
