Gary Cahill feels he could end up wearing his protective mask for his broken nose for a further 2 months.
Cahill broke his nose in our defeat to Manchester City when covering goalkeeper Asmir Begovic came out to punch way a cross but collected Cahill’s nose in the process. The England international has worn the mask in all our games since.
He also suffered a nose injury during our pre-season tour of North America and it has obviously not healed fully since and still needs more time to.
I’ve got to wear it maybe another month or couple of months. I’d rather it not be there. It protects your nose, which is the main thing, but vision-wise it’s better if it’s not there.
You put something on your face and you know that it’s there, you’re always aware, so it’s not ideal. But if I got another smash on it, it would be all over the place. It [his nose] doesn’t feel too bad but it’s broken in two places. You can’t really see, because it’s not out of joint. The blow at Man City was the one that finished it off.
