Last updated : 26 May 2004 By Al Campbell
Czech Republic coach Karel Bruckner has named a 24 man squad with one player to be left behind when the squad go to Portugal and at the moment that man will be Smicer.

Bruckner said: "We are not sure how he can train in the next days. I have nothing more to tell you about Smicer right now.

"I do not want to go to Portugal without him but anything can happen so that is one of the reasons why I nominated Matusovic as a 24th player.

"Another five replacements are on alert because of that as well."
