Chelsea goalkeeper Peter Cech has returned to training following successful surgery on a dislocated shoulder.

The Daily Mail reports that the 32-year-old stopper is the only player on duty at the club's Surrey training ground, as he undergoes a process of rehabilitation before the start of next season.

Cech is expected to be out of action for at least three months having undergone an operation during the final week of the Premier League campaign.

Chelsea's current first-choice keeper is expected to be challenged by rising youngster Thibaut Courtois next season.
