UK Back Pages: Petr Cech No 2nd Choice, Drogba, Gerrard Deals in the Headlines

The back pages in the UK today have their focus spread across several subjects, with the Commonwealth Games also muscling in on the football coverage. 

Let's take a look at some of tomorrow's talking points:

The Sun lead on Chelsea, with Jose Mourinho apparently confident that a deal to bring in Didier Drogba for a second time is close but also signalling that goalkeeper Petr Cech will not be content to be second choice to Thibaut Courtois:

The Daily Mirror ran a similar story, but it's one focusing more closely on the goalkeeping situation at Stamford Bridge:

Drogba gets a mention in the Daily Star, but there is also talk of Steven Gerrard being offered a further three years at Liverpool:

The Daily Mail, meanwhile, spreads its coverage between the Brownlee brothers' 1-2 in the Commonwealth Games triathlon and Andy Carroll's latest injury blow for West Ham United:

Alistair and Jonny get all of the Daily Telegraph's back page:

While The Times takes a similar direction:

Finally, the Indepedent plumps for a Commonwealth Games lead, but in contrast to elsewhere leads on (relative) failure, with Sir Bradley Wiggins' England pursuit team beaten into silver medal in the velodrome.
