Cech insists Chelsea squad experience an advantage

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech insists there's nothing wrong with the average age of their squad.

Indeed, Cech claims their experience is an advantage.

He told talkSPORT: "I don't think we are an old squad, we still have young players. We have a few players who have reached 30-years-old but I think a player that reaches 31 or 32 is not an old player.

"Age is not a limit it is the quality [that matters]. [Edwin] van der Sar was 40 and you could see how well he could play. I don't think it is about age, it is about how players play if they keep fit and continue to deliver the performances.

"We have a lot of experience and it can be to our advantage."
