Four days before the quarter-finals of the Euros, an important message came from the Prague base of the Czech national team. Jaroslav Šilhavy’s charges were at the Wednesday training session in Strahov in full numbers, including captain Vladimír Darida and Jan Bořil, who have been dealing with health problems in recent days.
Due to an unspecified leg injury, Vladimir Darida had to miss Sunday’s 8-final against the Netherlands, which the Czech national team sensationally won 2-0.
Antonín Barák replaced the 30-year-old Hertha Berlin midfielder in the line-up and it is a big question mark whether he will remain part of the starting eleven on Saturday thanks to his great performance.
There is also a lot of talk that Pavel Kadeřábek could be back at left back for the second round of the knockout phase of the European Championship. He played in the last game in place of the sidelined and slightly injured Jan Boril.
As far as the whole team is concerned, after a day off on Tuesday, he returned to training on Wednesday at Strahov.
It is at Strahov that Schick and co. have been preparing for most of the Euros, having to fly directly from Prague for every game due to coronavirus restrictions across the continent.
The plane with the national team will take off again on Thursday at 14:30, when the team will face a three-thousand-kilometre journey to distant Baku.
The national team will then have a pre-match training session on Friday in the venue of the quarter-finals, and Saturday will bring the anticipated duel with Denmark, scheduled to kick off at 18:00.
