Mourinho not willing to allow Mark Schwarzer to return to Craven Cottage.

Cech lost his place in the Chelsea team to young Belgian Thibaut Courtois this season, getting his first taste of Premier League action only last weekend against Arsenal once Courtois had been taken off with a serious head injury.
Schwarzer is still third choice at Stamford Bridge, but could well be bumped up to Courtois’ main reserve if Cech does leave, with youngster Jamal Blackman currently on loan in the Championship with Middlesbrough.
