Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has made light of the broken nose that he suffered in his side's 1-0 win at Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.

The keeper, who wears a scrum cap after a head injury in 2006, believes that he would look like a superhero were he to wear more protective gear.

"We'll see how it turns out," he told his official website. "If I were to start, then it would only be while wearing a mask.

"I already wear a headgear and I think that I would look like Batman."

The 29-year-old is a doubt for the Czech Republic's upcoming Euro 2012 playoffs against Montenegro.
