Chelsea captain John Terry has praised Petr Cech's
response to being replaced as first-choice goalkeeper by Thibaut Courtois.
Cech had enjoyed a decade of unrivalled success in
Chelsea's goal after arriving from Rennes in 2004.
However, manager Jose Mourinho has opted to put
22-year-old Courtois in for Chelsea's first two league games of the season,
explaining the decision was for the good of the club's future.
Cech has instantly been linked with a move away from
Stamford Bridge, and Terry concedes the Czech Republic international has an
important decision to make with just a week of the transfer window remaining.
Terry said: "It is very hard to take for big Petr
but he is Chelsea through and through and has been unbelievable in the way he
has responded in training and in his attitude.
"Some players throw their toys out of the pram and
Petr 100 per cent has not done that. He is fighting for his place.
"How long can he fight for his place? I don't know
that.
"That is a decision for him and the club to decide
but we have got two of the best keepers in the world.
"Petr has done it for many years and if Thibaut can
replicate that, it will take some doing."
