FIFA 19’s career mode shows Cech with protective helmet

Every so often, EA Sports' FIFA games serve up a memorable glitch that quickly becomes the talk of social media, and this year's version is no different.

FIFA 19 shows Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech renegotiating a new contract in his helmet - much to amusement of social media.

Cech, of course, wears the protective headgear for matches following a nasty collision with Reading's Noel Hunt in 2006, yet has no need for it in the rest of his daily life.

However, enter contract negotiations with the player on Career Mode, and he is still seen wearing the helmet.

The amusing glitch was quickly picked up on by eagle-eyed one user, who saw his tweet go viral within minutes.

Cue hundreds of hilarious responses on social media.

One reply showed a close-up of Cech in his helmet on the game with the caption: 'When you know you have a hard night of drinking ahead of you with your buddies at the bar.'

Another compared Cech's virtual agent to Prince Charles: 'And why is he negotiating with Prince Charles??'

Some also bemoaned what they classed as lazy game development from makers EA Sports, who clearly only have one image of the goalkeeper.

'Such lazy, lazy game development lol,' wrote AZ.

Speaking back in 2015, Cech admitted that the helmet is sometimes uncomfortable to wear during games.

'I would be more confident if I had it off,' said Cech in 2015. 'If you like it or not, the helmet affects your surroundings.

'You have your ears covered and it makes hearing worse. But the doctor has forbidden me to take off the helmet. If I did, I would not pay insurance.'

FIFA 19 is due for release on September 28 in the UK.
