Chelsea Goalkeeper Petr Cech set to quit the Blues if he does not become first choice again

Chelsea goalkeeper, Petr Cech, has expressed his frustration of having to remain second fiddle at the English club and stated he is ready to quit if he does not return as the team's number one again.

The Czech has only played in 14 games this season, after manager Jose Mourinho decided to make Thibaut Courtois his first choice, following a three-year loan spell at Atletico Madrid.

Cech moved to Stamford Bridge from Rennes in 2004 but considering leaving the bridge.

''I don’t know what the club’s idea will be,'' he told Czech newspaper Idnes. ''It looks like it works well with me and Thibaut as a duo.

''But that can work for one season only. I don’t want another one like this.''

The 32-year-old also stated he was going to have discussions with Mourinho and Chelsea officials, to decide his future.

He added: ''There always will be speculation, I leave it for the summer.

''It will be important to sit down with the club, with the manager, to consider all the pros and cons. We will see what will work out the best.''

Cech considering Chelsea exit if Mourinho continues to use him as number two

Chelsea shot stopper Petr Cech as reported by Guardian UK, has hinted that he might just walk out of the club if he continues to be a substitute.

Cech, who has been at Stamford Bridge since 2004 has not been a starting choice since the start of a new Premier League season owing to Thibaut Courtois' presence since his return from a loan spell at Atlético Madrid.

“I have not spoken to anyone, but I think they know me well enough at the club to know that the situation is definitely not the way I would imagine,” the goalkeeper told Czech radio while on international
duty.

“With the Euros (in 2016) and the national team in mind, there is no time for me to sit on the bench and not to play. If the situation will not start to improve for me, then I will want to solve it.“

Cech is set to start for the Czech Republic against Turkey in a European Championship qualifier on Friday.
