Diary

Tuesday, 1 October 2019 - Czech Republic's coach Jaroslav Šilhavý has announced his squad to take on England and then Northern Ireland. There was a change in the choice between the three goalkeepers, when together with Tomáš Vaclík and Jiří Pavlenka, Ondřej Kolář from Slavia was called to the national team. Slavia Praha's has dominated the representation amongst the defenders, when in addition to Bořil, Coufal and Kúdela, David Hovorka, who was also picked in 2017 for the match against Northern Ireland. Marek Suchý misses out. "They play very well and they convinced us with their performances in the Champions League Marek Suchý and Tomáš Kalas are missing. The loss of Mark is obviously not ideal, but we have to manage it without him." said Šilhavý. "I've been watching David Hovorka for a long time, I like his character on the pitch. I've never worked with him directly in the team, but he can see how he is experiencing matches and has a lot of enthusiasm." Regarding David Pavelka, who missed out on last month's squad because of injury. "David is the driver and we are very happy that he is back in our team because he is an important player of our center together with Tomáš Soucek."

Šilhavý also named a list of reserves:- Tomáš Koubek; Lukáš Hejda, Tomáš Holeš, Radim Řezník, Stefan Simič; Antonín Barák, Václav Černý, Adam Hložek, Tomáš Hořava, Lukáš Kalvach, Tomáš Přikryl, Michal Sadílek, Michal Trávník, Matěj Vydra, Jaromír Zmrhall; Martin Doležal, Tomáš Chorý, Jan Matoušek, Tomáš Necid, Zdeněk Ondrášek, Milan Škoda.

Wednesday, 2 October 2019 - FC Dallas striker Zdeněk Ondrášek has been called up to the squad for the first time. Šilhavý has decided to call him up based on his performances in the MLS, where he has scored five goals since the middle of August. Thirty year-old Ondrášek's previous international experience comes in the form of three under-21 appearances.

Sunday, 6 October 2019 - David Pavelka was withdrawn from the squad because of a knee injury, for which he has had to undergo surgery. FC Viktoria's Lukáš Kalvach has been drafted in as his replacement.

Monday, 7 October 2019 - On the team's first day of training at the home of FK Viktoria, David Hovorka and Filip Novák have both pulled out of the squad because of injuries. They have been replaced by Stefan Simič and Jaromír Zmrhal.

Tuesday, 8 October 2019 - More changes in the squad as Pavel Kadeřábek returns to his club because of illness. FC Viktoria's Radim Řezník has taken his place.
