Courtois has become the number one choice at Chelsea[GETTY]
The Belgium international has enjoyed three successful seasons on loan at La Liga champions Atletico Madrid, and has now returned to become the Blues favoured keeper.
In doing so, the 22-year-old has ousted long-serving Cech from Jose Mourinho’s plans, despite the Czech being the number one choice for the past decade.
Courtois admits he and Cech work well together, but has no intention of letting the 32-year-old get another look in.
"We don’t talk about the situation," he said on his rivalry with Cech.

"As a professional and a winner you always want to play every game, so we will see what the decision is of the coach.
