Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech is a doubt for the Premier League match against Middlesbrough after he was ruled out of the Czech Republic's World Cup Group 3 qualifier at home to Slovenia.
"Today's morning stretching showed that the thigh injury limits Petr so much that he could not give a 100 per cent performance," national team coach Petr Rada said on the Czech FA's website.
Cech was injured in the qualifier in Poland which the Czech Republic lost 2-1.
Carlo Cudicini is on standby in case Cech does not make the clash at the Riverside.

Cudicini was the best keeper in the EPL the season before Cech took over. Man U wanted him at one time. Cudicini is the man to keep goal if Cech is injured.
actually man u keeper let in less goals last season /
hello guys, it is sad that cech is injured. but i believe we have the best keepers in the epl and we don't have anything to fear. carlo cuducini is up to the task. up chelsea!
Oh no Cech injured!!!- not haha
chelsea should not have problems with or w/out him. ya he's a very good gollie but he's not that damn good. he has good cleansheet record at chelsea bcoz he got very solid defence in front of him. just look when he's playing with national side. completely venerable..! remember Euro 2008? i almost forgot he's chelsea no.1 keeper during watching Czech Republic back then..
Haba Cudicini is a good keeper.. Cech is better than him thats why he got relegated to the bench. I bet he'll be happy now that Cech is injured. Hilario or cudicini, who ever Scolari picks against Boro, Must keep a clean sheet.
Cech has lost his balls.He has proven that several times lately.He is now the yellowest goalie in the EPL.
please good cini or what you call him is not a keeper and i thought we have sent him packing before now. pleas e and please again helaro is better. i pray cetch gets better
who the heck is this guy saying gidicini is not a good keeper , zip it dude , he is great and i am not worried about the injries at all we have LOADS and LOADS of players to fill in.
cudicini is a better option
Sorry Petr Cech and is a pety, almost all Chelsea players are injured. In my opinion Cudicini is a gunner. He has a basket hands. The 3rd goalkeeper should take charge is Cech is unfit or even Tailor but not Cudicini please. 4rm Idris Tari.
