West Brom striker Roman Bednar fears a lack of first team action at the Hawthorns is harming his Czech Republic ambitions. Speaking to the Express and Star, Bednar said, "It's strange, because I played all last season for Albion and didn't get into the international team.

"But now, I've got back into a couple of squads for the Czech Republic and suddenly, I'm not playing for Albion.

"It's difficult for the international coach to keep picking me when I'm not playing for my club."

The 26-year-old missed out on his country's World Cup qualifiers last week.

"It's difficult at the moment, because I'm not playing here," he continued. "In midweek, the manager picked Milan Baros up front and he did pretty well, so it's difficult for any striker to get a chance.

"In the squad he had four strikers who were fit and playing regularly for their clubs, so I understand why they were picked.

"But if I can get back into the team here, then I still believe I can get back into the Czech squad. If I am scoring goals for Albion, I believe I will get picked.

"I think I did enough in training, and in the two matches I was picked for, to get another chance."
