Czech Republic strikers Milan Baros and Vaclav Sverkos, who were expelled from the national team for disciplinary reasons, are back in the squad for next week's friendly against Belgium but Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky will miss out with a new injury.
The Czech Soccer Federation indefinitely suspended Galatasaray’s Baros, Sverkos together with Tomas Ujfalusi, Martin Fenin, Marek Matejovsky and Radoslav Kovac on April 8, a week after a 2-1 loss to Slovakia in a World Cup qualifier in Prague. The six had been under fire after a tabloid newspaper criticized them for going to a restaurant, reportedly with hookers, after the qualifier against Slovakia.
