Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech is optimistic that he will be able to return from his calf injury ahead of schedule. The shot-stopper tore a muscle in the Blues' first-leg defeat to Inter Milan in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League and was ruled out for one month. But Cech has his fingers crossed that he will be able to make his comeback before the end of March and that would boost Chelsea's domestic and European title hopes. Asked if he expected to be out for three to four weeks, he told Sport.cz: "I hope I will be back sooner than that." Meanwhile, Cech has been named Czech Footballer of the Year for 2009 to win the award for a third time. Galatasaray striker Milan Baros and Bordeaux midfielder Jaroslav Plasil finished second and third, respectively. Cech said of his hat-trick of awards: "For me they are of the same significance. To win this award is a great honour, no matter how many times you manage to do that."
