Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has defended claims that there is bad blood between manager Luiz Felipe Scolari and some players.

Some reports indicated that that there was ill-feeling in the Stamford Bridge camp but Cech has backed the Brazilian manager, ensuring the players are happy with him.

"We have seen things that have been said, there is always a lot of comment at this club," Cech said.

"It is always speculation. But on the pitch nobody is complaining, nothing is being said.

"And when we were down to 10 men (against Everton) it is clear we are physically ready and are happy with the tactics and fighting for the manager."
