Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has no qualms about his possible return to Premiership action this weekend - just three months after suffering a horrific head injury against Reading.

The 24-year-old, hoping to be back on the field at Liverpool, is confident he is bearing no mental scars from an injury which means he will have to wear a headguard to keep goal.

"I have never felt as strong, physically and mentally, as I do now," he told The Sun. "I played my first game in training last Tuesday. I didn't think about my injury at all.

"I dived in at the strikers' feet, and it was no problem. I know I am not risking my life by playing again, and that is the main thing. I must not think too much - other people are more afraid than I am."

Cech was injured in a challenge from Stephen Hunt - and the goalkeeper admits he wishes the Reading midfielder had had time since to contact him about the incident .

"I was disappointed to see Stephen Hunt talked a lot about me in the press, while he never called me. That wasn't so difficult to do," he said.

"He didn't write to me. In October, I had a letter of apology from Reading Football Club, with his signature on it - nothing more."

Cech claims he remains unsure of Hunt's thoughts when the pair collided.

"I was disappointed [not to hear from Hunt] - but I told myself it must be difficult for him also to live with it," he added.

"I don't know if he did it on purpose - and I am not interested in knowing."

Cech's headguard has been specially designed by New Zealand-based company Canterbury, who usually specialise in rugby equipment including scrumcaps.

Chelsea's medical department contacted Canterbury last week to commission a bespoke version of the rugby cap the Czech international has been wearing in training, with extra protection to cover the areas of his skull weakened by the collision with Hunt.

The cap has been shipped in from New Zealand in time for the goalkeeper's possible comeback against Liverpool tomorrow.
