Carlo ready to step upChelsea reserve keeper Carlo Cudicini is looking forward to getting more action on the pitch but is still hoping Petr Cech returns from his freak head injury soon.
"Of course I am happy to play again, but Petr is first of all a friend, then a team-mate," said Cudicini.
"Petr is a little bit slow, speaks good, is okay now, is always cool and funny.
"But he will miss at least three months. I am not scared of knocking somebody down, am not scared of being hit.
"I am okay, no more headaches. I don’t know when I will come back, I hope to play against Sheffield United.
"I do some running and exercises with the ball.
"It is a big responsibility but I have played 200 games for Chelsea, so I know the job."
On the rumours linking Fabien Barthez and Gianluigi Buffon to the club Cudicini said: "I know about the Fabien Barthez rumour, I have heard about it but it's none of my business, it is the coach’s role.
"They are talking about so many goalkeepers, where is the truth? We will see who the manager is going to pick.
"It is not my business, the club decides and they don’t have to talk with me.
"Barthez is a very famous and great goalkeeper, a high profile one. I have nothing to say against him.
"When you play for a big club, there is competition for every position."
