Mourinho hails Cech's attitude

London - Petr Cech may not have been on the field much - he has started only four Premier League games this season - but manager Jose Mourinho still believes he has made a significant contribution to Chelsea's cause.

The giant Czech Republic goalkeeper is in his 11th season at Stamford Bridge having played more than 480 times for Chelsea, but for the first time, has had to play second fiddle as an understudy to young Belgium stopper Thibaut Courtois.

Cech, 32, and with many seasons still ahead of him, gave a clear indication last month that he was unwilling to accept the situation for a second campaign but his commitment to Chelsea's title charge has not been lost on Mourinho.
