Petr Cech visited his good friend and former team-mate Carlo Cudicini in hospital yesterday (Thursday).

Cudicini was involved in a road accident yesterday, sustaining broken wrists and an injury to his pelvis.

Speaking on the first live video interview hosted on the official Chelsea website today, Cech said:

'It is very sad but sometimes life brings unfortunate situations.

'I went and saw Carlo yesterday in the hospital. He has always been a great character and you can see he is coping well with it. He is doing well and he will undergo some operations today to help him to be as fit as possible.

'I think that everybody should keep fingers crossed for him to get well soon.'

There will be a further report on Cech's interview later today.
