Jose Mourinho adamant Petr Cech is not missed at Chelsea

Goalkeeper Petr Cech is not missed at Chelsea, according to manager Jose Mourinho.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has insisted that the club won't miss Petr Cech now that first-choice goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is suspended.

Cech left Chelsea after 11 years to join Arsenal after falling behind Courtois in the pecking order, and the Blues replaced him with Asmir Begovic.

Courtois was sent off against Swansea on Saturday, and he will now miss the trip to Manchester City this weekend.

Mourinho is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News: "We don't miss Petr. We've got a good keeper, the problem with Petr is not that we miss him because we have two excellent keepers.

"The problem with Petr is that an opponent is better than before. Thibaut and Asmir are two fantastic keepers. My club did very well by getting a keeper on time and not on the August 31.

"If my club gives me a keeper on August 31, then we have a problem not just for today but also for the next match. Unless the people understand that it's not a red card and they clear the suspension."

Chelsea went on to draw 2-2 with Swansea after Courtois's red card.
