    This broad squad should be later divided into A and B squads. There's a possibility Czechs will get a chance in olympic qualifiers, the B squad would play EL in that case. Anyway, the team seams to be pretty week this year :sos:


    Many players have refused to play in NT this year mostly due to injuries, including Kryštof. Not sure about why Ticháček refused. Rejlek started to prepare with NT, but had to leave because of injury.


    P. Konečný (MB) has retired from NT, Pláteník has switched to beach volleyball, he's formed a couple with another former NT player, Lébl.

  • Pláteník has switched to beach volleyball, he's formed a couple with another former NT player, Lébl.

    WHAT? :what: I can't imagine Czech team without this guy!

  • Exactly, he's been a key player for a few years.


    Fila has left the team because of back injury. Vesely has left some time ago, now there's more detail - he wanted some rest but couldn't get an agreement with the coaches.


    With the lineup thinning and invitation to the OQ, few more players should come - no names yet, perhaps some experienced ones. Petr Konecny, maybe?

  • Stokr and Hudecek will take rest from NT duties for the rest of the season.


    Since Konecny still has problems with his knee, Krisko (who played well in the 'B' squad in the EL, while the 'A' squad was playing OQ) will be the starting opposite in the next EL tournament.


    Because of other absences and diseases, Zajicek, Janouch, Kuliha and Bartos have been called to the squad; all very young players.
