'I've only played with him on Playstation!' - Jorginho believes Cech 'can still do it' if called upon at Chelsea

Chelsea midfielder Jorginho believes Petr Cech still has what it takes to succeed after the goalkeeper was a shock inclusion in the Blues' 25-man Premier League roster.

The 38-year-old, who has been serving as a technical and performance advisor following his retirement in 2019, was the fourth goalkeeper named in Frank Lampard's squad.

Chelsea said Cech was included as "emergency goalkeeper cover" and added: "This is a precautionary step due to the unprecedented conditions currently caused by the Covid-19 crisis. He takes up a position as a non-contract player."
