Both Zadina and Kořenář started the weekend match. However, in the absence of Jakub Kovář, Sparta’s 26-year-old goalkeeper in particular undergoes an enormous workload, which apparently affected his health. He will not add his second national team start for the time being. He will be replaced in the nomination by 22-year-old Jakub Málek, who last year caught six duels for the national team and is now enjoying a successful start to the season in Ilves Tampere.
Coach Rulík also had to deal with absences in the offensive line. In addition to Zadina, Jiří Smejkal also apologized, who was already absent from Dynamo in Sunday’s match against Vítkovice, so it was expected that he would not participate in the meeting. The head coach therefore called the substitutes Lence and Kunc.
