Chelsea keeper Petr Cech is recovering in a neuro-surgical unit after suffering a depressed fracture of the skull against Reading. Was the injury inflicted deliberately by Stephen Hunt? My gut instinct is that with the adrenalin pumping just seconds after kick-off, Hunt went for a ball as if it was 50/50 when in fact it was 60/40 in Cech’s favour. I don’t think there was intent to hurt Cech, but let’s put the incident before the Pies jury to reach a verdict.
