Czech Republic waiting on Tomas Rosicky injury

Czech Republic waiting on Rosicky injury

Czech Republic manager Michal Bilek is sweating over the fitness of team captain Tomas Rosicky.

The Arsenal midfielder picked up an Achilles injury during Tuesday's 2-1 win over Greece and is now a worry ahead of their final group match with Poland on Saturday.

Czech Republic were leading 2-0 when the 31-year-old came off at half time, and Bilek is hoping to have his skipper available for the crucial final day of Group A matches.

"We will see on Wednesday what the extent of the problem is," Bilek said.

"He's important. We missed him in the second half as he's a key player."

Czech Republic need to defeat Poland in their final Group A match on Saturday to qualify by right but can also qualify if they draw against the co-hosts and Russia win or draw.
