CECH A DOUBT FOR CZECHS

CECH A DOUBT FOR CZECHS

Cech - set to miss out.

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech is likely to miss the Czech Republic's World Cup qualifier against Slovenia on Wednesday after sustaining a thigh injury during Saturday's defeat to Poland.

A statement on the Czech federation website said: "There is not enough time until the next match for him to be 100% fit."

News of Cech's absence is a blow for the Czechs who must beat Slovenia if they are to kick-start their qualifying campaign.

Petr Rada's side have taken just one point from their two matches in Group Three following the 2-1 setback to the Poles in Chorzow.
