CECH THIS
Chelsea have sensationally included 38-year-old club legend and Petr Cech director on their list of 25 Premier League players.
Although the Blues have well-documented goalkeeper problems, naming Cech on the list will draw attention.
The Czech star retired at the end of the 2018–19 season after a four-year contract with London rival Chelsea, Arsenal.
But Cech respected Stamford Bridge and returned as football director through general manager Marina Granovskaia.

SHOOT FOR HIM
Only one call among Arsenal’s ten most sensitive winners has failed to be part of their Premier League team.
WHAT’S MY
Mesut Ozil is unlikely to register for Arsenal after being ruled out of the club’s 25-man Premier League team.
SunSport revealed last week how the Gunners were ready to exclude the German game shipowner from the team.
Now Mikel Arteta’s team has shown that 32-year-old Ozil had been unceremoniously dumped while his official roster had been presented to the league chiefs.
In the 25-man team, clubs can introduce more than 17 local players over the age of 21, and Arsenal have 19 in their ranks.
Clubs can review their groups in the new year, but this cover-up means the 2014 World Cup winner does not have a long career at Arsenal.
Former Real Madrid has played a competitive fit for Northern Londoners since the 1-0 win over West Ham in March.
SEE RED
Gary Neville has criticized the timing of a European Premier League.
He told Sky Sports News: “The big challenge I have with this is that right now, in the middle of a pandemic and when football is on its knees on so many other levels, the concept of a $6 billion package is coming together to create a new league when declining clubs struggle to pay wages and stay alive.
“It’s a football injury. This is not a good time to communicate.
“The leak probably doesn’t suit Manchester United or Liverpool right now as they are big, nasty bullies.
“I am in favor of the advancement of football, with new competitions and new formats, but we have to deal with the design of the game and what it is for the communities of this country. “
MAKE A MONTH
Arsenal have shown their Premier League with Mesut Ozil offside as planned.

Oh, seagulls dare
Danny Welbeck revealed that “agent” Adam Lallana had played a key role in persuading him to enroll in Brighton.
The former Arsenal forward signed a one-year contract with the Seagulls on Sunday, teaming up with his former England teammate Lallana, who arrived in Amex on the loose this summer.
When asked how his 29-year-old replacement of Albion, Welbeck, happened, he explained: “In a few weeks, really.
“I had conversations with (Brighton’s technical director) Dan Ashworth and the club.
“I met with members and also spoke to Adam Lallana.
“Agent Lallana, it’s rarely much that. It was all positive, so I took my resolution and I’m here.
“I know Adam before my career and we’re still talking.
“Seeing him come here and have conversations with him about the club gave me the right reviews and that’s all that’s helping you with your decision. “
BY WAY
Per Mertesacker admitted it was a panic purchase for Arsenal when he joined Werder Bremen in 2011.
He told Arsenal’s Lockdown podcast: “I myself am a panic purchase. I have no challenge with that because rarely those times are rushed.
“Football is in a hurry, when the market is about to close. At the time, Arsenal had two or three days to make changes to the team.
“Join an English team, my favorite English team, and join the Premier League for everything I couldn’t refuse. “
WHICH IS A MI
He has suggested that Mesut Ozil prepare for his next club after the German ruled outside Arsenal’s Premier League team.
The mythical Frenchman told Sky Sports, quoted via Metro: “You exercise every day and make sure your point doesn’t go down and you can go somewhere else and play somewhere else. “

MARTIN LIPTON
Comment: The European Super League is as close as EVER to a 50/50 split of whether a 4. 6 billion pound plan will be carried out.
Martin Lipton of SunSport said: “Here we pass again.
“Another plan for a European Super League. Just like the others. I meant not to go anywhere.
“Except, perhaps, this time it’s REALLY serious.
“The suggestion of a $4. 6 billion investment program and revenue from heaps of millions consistent with the club would even cause the cynical mist to raise an eyebrow.
“Given the fact that Europe’s biggest clubs are almost unanimous in their preference to open currency gates after the Covid-19 crisis, attractiveness becomes even greater.
“But when you also realize that a new festival would be the ultimate weapon in the sour war between FIFA and UEFA, it’s no wonder vital resources think there’s a 50 to 50 chance that the concept will come true. “
THE EU MUST JOKE
Manchester United and Liverpool are reportedly in talks with FIFA about forming an 18-team European Premier League.
Following the failure of their Project Big Six proposal, the two English giants have embarked on a new conspiracy.
This is what it looks like . . .
ART ATTACK
Andy Cole believes Mikel Arteta has shown Alexandre Lacazette “disrespect. “
The Asturian chose to start Willian as the great striker despite a striker on the bench defeat to Man City.
Lacazette nevertheless arrived in the middle of the moment, but former Manchester United striker Cole thought it was Arteta’s mismanagement.
He told talkSPORT: “I think Lacazette is also disrespectful. Willian is an average striker.
“If you have a center forward on the bench who is also your sensible scorer, turn around and say, ‘Look, I’ll play with Willian as the centre forward.
“You’re on the bench and you see him play as a centre forward,” I think it’s very disrespectful. “
ALMOST SEALED BY A CRISIS
Cristiano Ronaldo about to move to Arsenal, and former chief Arséne Wenger says his failure to materialize still haunts him
In an interview with FourFourTwo magazine to be published in November, Wenger claims he almost finished signing the Portuguese ace while Thierry Henry was still at the club, and the concept that they play in combination still makes him sweat.
He said: “When I had Thierry, he may have simply signed (Christian) Ronaldo.
“Can you believe what they could have done together?
“It makes you sweat a little, and I’m about to. I imagine everything done.
When asked how close itArray was, he held his index finger and thumb within a millimeter of each and said, “It’s so close.
The Gunners had even bought Ronaldo a blouse and welcomed his mother to the stadium.
Wenger exclaimed, “I had the Arsenal blouse, I had lunch with him and his mom on the floor!”
SITUATION MES-SY
Mesut Ozil will again play for Arsenal as he has reportedly been ruled by the club’s 25-man Premier League team.
SunSport revealed last week how the Gunners were ready to exclude the German game shipowner from the team.
And now, ESPN has said that the 32-year-old will play any role in the elite until January after being eliminated.
Clubs can review their groups in the new year, but this cover-up means the 2014 World Cup winner does not have a long career at Arsenal.
Former Real Madrid has played a competitive fit for Northern Londoners since the 1-0 win over West Ham in March.
Earlier this month, Ozil ruled outside the Europa League team, and it seems Mikel Arteta is not necessary.
IT’S PERSONAL.
Arsenal academy chief Per Mertesacker has shown that Mesut Ozil’s continued omission is NOT due to his field performances, suggesting it may simply be ‘personal’.
The 32-year-old German game maker has been frozen by Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta in recent months.
Ozil has played for the Gunners since the 1-0 win over West Ham on March 7.
Former Gunners captain Mertesacker told the Klick and Rush podcast: “There are a lot of things off the field.
“He was given married, he has family . . . your goal has changed.
However, he is satisfied and satisfied to play football.
“He is the player with which I have played in 3 groups: Bremen, Arsenal and also Germany.
“So I’m sorry you’ve been in a scenario lately where it’s not used.
PARTY TIME
Arsenal will arrive at Rapid Vienna in the Europa League on Thursday and Mikel Arteta is expected to announce the changes.
The new signing Thomas Partey is ready to get his first Gunners start with compatibility with young Eddie Nketiah starting in an attacking role.
The Gunners lost 1-0 to Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday and the Spaniard will need to freshen things up for austria.
Bernd Leno will retain his position of purpose because Arteta certainly needs to launch his team’s European crusade with a victory.
But the defense can see new faces in a 5-2-3 formation.
That’s how we Gunners will evolve.
THE LORD SPEAKS
Nicklas Bendtner is baffled by Mesut Ozil’s omission from the Arsenal team.
Mikel Arteta has excluded German from his first team’s plans.
And the former Arsenal player can’t sense why such a phenomenal player is not being used.
He told talkSPORT: “Amazing Mesut. I think he’s a phenomenal player. When I was there on my day, he was key to creating wonderful results.
“Obviously, I’m sad to see such a smart player playing football.
“I can’t comment on what’s going on there because I have no idea, but to see that a skill like yours isn’t being used is very difficult. “
COVID-19 POSITIVE
Eight others tested positive for coronavirus in the last circular of the Premier League tests.
Burnley announced that Phil Bardsley had tested positive for the striker of his 0-0 draw at West Brom last night and Prem threw one this morning confirming seven others.
One of Prem said today: “The Premier League can now verify that between Monday 12 October and Sunday 18 October, 1,575 players and club staff were screened for COVID-19.
“Among these, there have been 8 new tests.
“Players or clubs who have tested positive will be isolated for an era of ten days.
“The Premier League provides this aggregated data for the sake of competitive integrity and transparency.
“No express main points will be provided about clubs or Americans through the League and effects will be made public after testing.
WHICH IS A MI
Mesut Ozil’s hopes of forcing his return to Arsenal squad seem to be over.
The Evening Standard that the German will be excluded from Tuesday’s Premier League registration deadline.
This means that the German will not be able to play competitive football until at least January.
His teammate, Sokratis, is facing a bad run in the Emirates.
Ozil has already been adamant about what he would see in the last year of his arsenal contract of 350,000 euros a week.
PARK IT IN
Jack Wilshere has intensified his search for a new club after education at a local park following his from West Ham.
The 28-year-old former Arsenal player agreed to terminate his contract at London Stadium earlier this month after not cancelling his contract at London Stadium.
Despite only 16 Premier League appearances in two years for the Hammers, Wilshere said he had been injured in the last eight months.
And he maintained compatibility through education with his ncF Elites organization, with Wilshere on a playing field.

MARI-ED AT FIRST SIGHT
Mikel Arteta was promoted by the departure of the central Pablo Mari.
The defence has played since injuring his ankle ligaments against Manchester City on 17 June.
But Football. London reports that he is in a position to return to education this week.
It will be a timely return after the news that Rob Holding will be out of service for a month.
Shkodran Mustafi and Calum Chambers were left out of the game for injuries.
FAMILY PROBLEMS
See how Thomas Partey’s circle of relatives reacted warmly to his son’s arrival to make his debut against Manchester City.

SPORTS LUCK
Arsenal have made an offer of 17 million pounds for Sporting’s Joelson Fernandes in the movement window, according to O Democrata.
However, the player’s father, Eusebio, convinced him to join the Lisbon club.
“It must have been a planned decision, because my desire as a father and entrepreneur, the day Joelson Fernandes leaves Sporting, is to be friendly and through the big door, but not through the back door. “
This has been one of my goals and one of the convictions that led the player to continue to constitute Lions.
“Despite those tempting offers as an entrepreneur, I ended those invitations, knowing I needed those million-dollar offers.
But I imagine that in life cash is not everything, because we will have to be aware and aware that there is a word called ‘gratitude’.
“That’s why we’re grateful to Sporting for what he’s given the athlete. “
Waiting
Arsenal star Rob Holding could be away for up to a month due to injury.
The defender was due to start with the Gunners at Manchester City on Saturday, but injured his ham ham tendon during the warm-up.
Holding, 25, was forced to abandon the crash when David Luiz replaced him in the team for the 1-0 defeat at Etihad.
Bolton Wanderers’ former star underwent a scan to determine the extent of the damage.
According to the Daily Mail, Chief Mikel Arteta is now worried about being central to Arsenal’s next six games.
