Cech injury not serious
Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech escaped serious injury and suffered just bruising to his hip when he limped out of the 1-0 win over Blackburn on Sunday.
The London club said on Monday that the Czech international underwent a scan following the collision with Blackburn forward Roque Santa Cruz.
It was feared his injury could prove costly for the Stamford Bridge outfit, who are already without rib injury victim Carlo Cudicini for the home clash with Aston Villa on Wednesday.
"Scans have shown bruising around Petr's hip and side," said a Chelsea statement.
"We will continue to monitor the situation over the coming days and hope to have him back playing as soon as possible."
Third-choice keeper Hilario is likely to start against Villa on Wednesday.
