Goalkeeper Petr Cech underwent surgery for a depressed fracture of the skull after being knocked unconscious in Chelsea´s victory at Reading on Saturday.

Cech was injured in a first-minute collision with Stephen Hunt at the Madejski Stadium and his replacement, Carlo Cudicini, was also later knocked out following a collision with Ibrahima Sonko.
