The Arsenal goalkeeper has topped a poll in his native country yet again, but his return from injury for his club remains up in the air
Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech has won the Czech Player of the Year award for the ninth time, a new record.
The Gunners stopper, who retired from international football following the European Championship last summer, beat off competition from Hertha Berlin’s Vladimir Darida, who finished second in the poll, and Borek Dockal, who is based in China.
The vote is decided by players, coaches, football officials and journalists, and the 34-year-old expressed his happiness with the award on Twitter.
