Following Petrášek’s fall, coach Jaroslav Šilhavý currently has 20 outfield players and three goalkeepers available for June’s four Nations League matches. It’s not yet clear whether the Czestochowa stopper will be replaced in the nomination.
Petrášek is one of the already many wastes of the Czech team. Šilhavý is missing more than 10 players from the usual squad, including top striker Patrik Schick and midfielder Antonín Barák.
The Czech side will face elite Group A for the first time in the third year of the Nations League and will exceptionally perform in four matches in June. They will host Switzerland on Thursday and three days later will also host Spain at Eden, Prague. He will perform in Portugal over the next four days and will retaliate in Spain on June 12.
The representatives are preparing for Thursday’s entry into the group against Switzerland, for which the Nations League will prepare for the World Championships in Qatar, where the Czech team did not qualify. During the day Tuesday, the charges were followed by a relatively lengthy tactical meeting.
“A preparation as classic as in every game. Video, details on the opponent, offensive, defensive. And some of our plans, which of course I will not say,” said offensive universal Vaclav Cerny. “We know the Swiss are of incredible quality, they have a good squad. And we’ll fine-tune the rest in training,” added Dutchman Twente Enschede.
His team-mate and midfielder Michal Sadílek celebrates his 23rd birthday today. “I’ve already sung to him and already started the Twente group (on WhatsApp). Most of the time it’s (striker) Ricky (van Wolfswinkel) he sends old pictures of the boys and wishes him a birthday. Today I took care of it because it’s Mischa, “said Černý with a smile. “So far, only congratulations have taken place here in the national team. We will definitely make sure that Míša gets something from us. And she still has to give a speech,” Černý added.
