Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has revealed that he doesn't remember anything of the challenge that left him with a fractured skull after speaking for the first time about his sickening collision with Reading's Stephen Hunt.

Cech, who suffered the injury at the Madejski Stadium on October 14, left hospital earlier in the week and has visited the club's Cobham training ground to talk with team-mates and Blues boss Jose Mourinho.

A large scar down the left side of his head was visible beneath his partially shaven head when he visited the training ground on Thursday.

"Sometimes it is difficult because you wake up and you have a horrible headache, so you have to take your medication," he told Chelsea TV.

"I just try to live with that and every day it is going to get better.

"The last thing I remember is shaking hands before the game started. I don't even remember the kick-off and I don't remember the incident.

"I have seen it on TV once and I don't want to speak about it for the moment

"I am just concentrating on coming back to fitness."
