The Spartan cadre was cut by a virus in the past two matches, which is why the players also passed the exams on Monday after Saturday’s PCR tests. And tests according to the club’s website have revealed positive cases, due to which Sparta cannot play Tuesday’s match against Karlovy Vary and Friday’s duel against Zlín on schedule.
“It’s a complication for us, of course. We are in permanent contact with the Hygiene Station of the Capital City of Prague, with which we are solving the next step. With Karlovy Vary and Zlín, we will be looking for alternative dates for matches, “said sports director Petr Ton.
But that’s not the only thing he has to deal with right now. According to the isport server, the termination of the contract with goalkeeper Salák, who signed a new two-year contract at the end of last season, is also due to fall.

The Prague club has not yet specified what Salák was supposed to do, in any case it is almost certain that a participant in the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi and three World Championships will not be left without a commitment for a long time. The Swedish public television SVT informs that the 35-year-old native from Strakonice is headed to the highest competition there, specifically to Djurgaarden.
“We are dealing with the situation regarding Salák, but we cannot comment on it yet. On Wednesday, we will hopefully be able to tell the public more, “club spokesman Marek Táborský told Práva. I was with the team all the time and Petr Ton also told me that it was bullshit, “Táborský responded.

However, the workload of the goalkeeper in the position of clear number one has been declining since December. He has only hit seven in the last twelve games, causing an unwanted commotion at the end of October when he got scalded at home while cooking and was out of the game for three weeks. In the absence of an exit clause in Salák’s contract, the Prague club is now deciding how to deal with the whole matter. If Salák really left, the Prague club would have to quickly add the goalkeeper to Machovský in tandem by January 31, when the transfer period ends.
The team from Stockholm is experiencing a difficult season, when it ranks last in the table, losing nine points to the penultimate Timra. Djurgaarden has so far bet on 32-year-old Swede Niklas Svedberg in the goal area and Lithuanian Mantas Armalis, who is three years younger.
For Salák, Sweden is nothing new in the 2010/11 and 2012/13 seasons, he worked in Färjestad, in the opening one with the club he even won the championship title.
