Today, the final squad of football players heading to the European Championship was announced by the Czech national team.
The national team has finally been reduced from 25 to 23 players, with the Prague "Sparta" duo of Lukas Marecek and Patrik Schick excluded.
Arguably the brightest star in the team will once again be Petr Cech, the goalkeeper from London "Arsenal."
Interestingly, another player who played for Arsenal this season, Tomas Rosicky, has also made it into the team. Despite appearing in only one match due to injuries, he still earned the trust of coach Pavel Vrba.
Full squad:
Goalkeepers: Petr Cech (London "Arsenal"), Tomas Vaclik ("Basel"), Tomas Koubek (Prague "Sparta").
Defenders: Theodor Gebre Selassie (Bremen "Werder"), Roman Hubnik (Pilsen "Viktoria"), Pavel Kaderabek ("Hoffenheim"), Michal Kadlec (Istanbul "Fenerbahce"), David Limbersky ("Viktoria"), Daniel Pudil ("Watford"), Marek Suchy ("Basel"), Tomas Sivok ("Bursaspor").
Midfielders: Vladimir Darida (Berlin "Hertha"), Borek Dockal ("Sparta"), Daniel Kolar ("Viktoria"), Ladislav Krejci ("Sparta"), David Pavelka (Istanbul "Kasimpasa"), Jaroslav Plasil ("Bordeaux"), Tomas Rosicky ("Arsenal"), Jiri Skalak ("Brighton"), Josef Sural ("Sparta").
Forwards: David Lafata ("Sparta"), Tomas Necid ("Bursaspor"), Milan Skoda (Prague "Slavia").
