Czech Republic’s Michal Sadilek will miss the European Championship in Germany due to a leg injury from a bike accident. Coach Ivan Hasek calls it a significant setback ahead of their Euros 2024 campaign.

Czech Republic midfielder Michal Sadilek will miss the upcoming European Championship in Germany due to a leg injury sustained from a bicycle accident, the national team’s spokesperson announced on Sunday.

The 25-year-old, who participated in the previous Euros in 2020, has earned 24 caps for his country and scored one goal. Sadilek recently captained the team and played the entire match in a 7-1 victory over Malta in a warm-up friendly last Friday.

“Sadilek unfortunately fell while riding his bike and suffered a laceration in the leg,” the national team’s spokesperson confirmed in a statement.

“This is a big setback for us because Michal is one of our experienced players,” Czech Republic coach Ivan Hasek commented. “It was not without reason that he wore the captain’s armband during the match against Malta.”

The Czech Republic is scheduled to face North Macedonia in a friendly on Monday before commencing their Euros 2024 campaign against Portugal in Group F on June 18.
