Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech has offered Ryan Mason help in his recovery from a fractured skull - an injury he sustained over 10 years ago at Chelsea.
A collision with Reading's Stephen Hunt left Cech with a depressed fracture of his skull. He was out of action for over three months and worn a head guard ever since.
He can empathise with the road to recovery ahead of Mason, who fractured his skull while attempting to win a header against Chelsea defender Gary Cahill on January 22 at Stamford Bridge.
'I offered him my support because I have experience in what he's going through, and I'm happy to share my experience if it helps him,' Cech said.
