Bielefeld, Germany - Hertha Berlin missed an opportunity to go to the top of the Bundesliga standings when they were held to a 1- 1 draw Friday at Arminia Bielefeld.

"In the game against Liverpool some player kicked (Cech) in the back," said Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari.

"He completed the game, but felt a lot of pain and it is impossible for him to play tomorrow and, I think, with the national team on Wednesday.
