In Friday’s away game against Slovakia, the Czech Republic won 3-1, despite Tomas Soucek and Patrik Schick being quarantined and missing the match.

The day after the victory over Slovakia, the Czech federation announced that the next Nations League match, on Monday against Scotland, was postponed indefinitely after several players came into contact with people from the national team who tested positive for COVID-19. 19.

Later on Saturday, however, UEFA declared that Monday’s match will be played as planned.

It has made up for it for the Czechs.

When the acting captain of the Czech Republic team, David Holoubek, unveiled the match template for the Scotland match, it turned out that only two players with national merits from the national team were present: 36-year-old defender Roman Hubnik and 30-year-old forward Stanislav Tecl.

Hubnik has played 29 international matches for the Czech Republic, but the most recent was four years ago. Tecl, for his part, has only played five international matches for the Czechs, the last of which was two years ago.

Others on the team? They are debutants in the context of national teams.

– I finished my career in the national team four years ago and I never imagined that I would be here when I saw Friday’s game against Slovakia. It was very surprising, but I said yes immediately, Hubnik says in a comment on the Czech federation’s Twitter account.
