Manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that goalkeeper Petr Cech will be out for around 3 to 4 weeks.

This rules him out of the season at a crucial time, while he will also miss the second leg of the Champions League game against Barcelona. The former Chelsea goalkeeper suffered a calf injury in the 2-1 loss against Swansea. He is expected to be unavailable for the FA Cup replay against Hull City as well. Wenger learnt about the long-term nature about the injury after the loss. He even went on to claim that the injury to Cech had a major dent in the confidence of players.

Frank Lampard is regarded to be as the best or one of the best players who has worn the Chelsea jersey and the impact that he has made in the Premier League club will never be forgotten as the Englishman cemented his place in the history-books of Chelsea by becoming the top goal-scorer of the club and made over 400 appearances.

In this period of time, Lampard was able to lift a number of titles including: Champions League and Premier League just to name a few of them.

It’s been over 1 year since Lampard officially announced his retirement from playing at the international stage and his time at club level is almost over as well. Lampard has a contract with New York City which extends until July 2017 and it’s very likely that the Englishman will decide to hang up his boots and retire all together.

Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker believes that the club should take advantage of Petr Cech’s brilliance by reclaiming the league title after a long time. Arsenal have not won the Premier League since the 2003-04 season.

They managed to achieve this title victory by staying unbeaten throughout the season. It is a feat that has never been managed since then. Despite this achievement, Arsenal have been mocked in recent years for their failure to achieve anything close to a title challenge. However, they appear to be in pole position to end this trophy drought.

When it comes to being on the spotlight of the media, in the world of football it’s usually the forwards or the more offensive players the one that receive all the attention as well as the praise and there are other positions in the game which don’t receive as much praise or attention.

While Olivier Giroud and MesutOzil are out in the offensive lines taking charge of the attacking duties of Arsenal, PetrCech is on the other side of the pitch doing what needs to be done in order to keep his team from conceding goals and even though it’s been less than 1 year since Cech signed for Arsenal for a transfer fee of only €10 million, he has already made a colossal impact in the team.

Former Manchester United midfielder Park Ji sung believes that games against Liverpool are always special irrespective of the form and position in the table.

The two teams up against each other once again. The game will be at Old Trafford and it is expected to be a great spectacle. Games against Manchester United and Liverpool have always been intense and the South Korean midfielder expects more of the same. Former manager Sir Alex Ferguson often resorted to using Park Ji sung as the destroyer in such matches. Manager Louis van Gaal will be without such options.

The top European clubs made shockwaves in this summer transfer window with the English outfits Manchester United and Manchester City leading the way. Manchester City paid £49 million in signing Raheem Sterling meanwhile Manchester United signed Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin.

In Spain, Barcelona acquired Arda Turan but even though Athletic Madrid is not making as much noise compared to the other top clubs, Diego Simeone is trying to build his own top class club that can compete against the best teams in Europe.

Arsene Wenger believes that goalkeeper Petr Cech may turnout to be a key factor in the upcoming game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Having begrudgingly sold Petr Cech to Arsenal in the summer, Chelsea fans were left wondering just how much of a blow it would be to the club to lose such an influential member of their squad. While there weren't many who could argue when Thibaut Courtois replaced Cech as first-choice keeper following Jose Mourinho's return to the club, selling the 33-year-old to a fellow title rival didn't go down well with all Chelsea fans despite the arrival of Asmir Begovic from Stoke.

Didier Drogba is not going to sign for the Ligue 1 club Olympique De Marseille.

The striker himself ruled out the possibility of that in an interview to an Ivorian channel yesterday.

According to Drogba, Marseille has no ambition at this point in time and he can’t go to such a club. He likes working on some sort of project and he would not get that at Stade Velodrome.

Drogba had spent a solitary season in Marseille shirts in 2004-05 and had been quite successful there finding the net as many as 19 times.

José Mourinho says that he wants Petr Cech to remain at Chelsea beyond the season amidst rumours that he is set to leave the club.

He has not been a first choice player for the first time in 10 years after his position was taken over by Thibaut Courtois.Cech has featured in only 16 matches across all competitions this season. This is in sharp contrast to his previous seasons when he averaged more than 50 games across all competitions.Cech has been linked with a number of clubs both in the Premier League and abroad.
