The return of Belgian shot-stopper Thibaut Courtois may spark a possible Chelsea exit for experienced goalkeeper Petr Cech, but according to reports, it may not be the only factor behind his speculated departure.
On Monday, in the Blues' English Premier League opening game, an away encounter with newly-promoted side Burnley, their 32-year-old goalkeeper was dropped to the bench in favor of the former Atletico Madrid custodian.
And now, despite Mourinho's claims he spoke to three-time English Premier League-winning goalkeeper about leaving him on the bench for the trip to Turf Moor, the Mirror states the former Real Madrid boss had not informed Cech, as the goalkeeper was "kept in the dark".
As written in the Daily Mail, Petr Cech is looking for assurance over his future with the 2012 Champions League winners, amid rumors Paris Saint-Germain, Monaco, and even Real Madrid are all in for the 32-year-old, with only 12 days remaining from the transfer window.

Belief is Courtois is staling over signing a five-year extension to his current contract until he is promised to be a regular between the sticks, or else he might move on from the London side.
“I know that Petr is a great goalkeeper, so there is a lot competition," Courtois was previously quoted as saying.
"But when you come back from a successful loan, you hope to play. Otherwise, it would maybe have been better for me to go to another team."
The return of Chelsea's Belgian custodian could see the end of Petr Cech's 10-year spell at Stamford Bridge, with PSG and Monaco showing interest in the 32-year-old
Courtois, though, confessed to wanting his counterpart to remain at Chelsea, saying: "Do I want Cech to stay? Of course, in training I can still learn from him because he has a lot of experience, he can give me good tips about the Premier League, things I might not know from the start.
"For the team is better for us to have two good goalkeepers. I don’t have a problem if he stays. Hopefully I can play well and stay in the team."
