Czechs to be without Chelsea keeper for Scotland clash

The Czech Republic squad to face Scotland in Group I of Euro2012 qualifying has been named by manager Michal Bilek. Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has been ruled out because of injury leaving Bilek with a big decision on who will take the gloves as number two Jaroslav Drobny has conceded ten goals in three games with Hamburg in the German Bundesliga.

A 22-man squad for the September 3 meeting at Glasgow's Hampden Park has been named with Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky to take the captains armband.

Craig Levein's Scotland team currently sit third on the group table with four points from as many matches whilst the Czechs are five points clear in second although they have played on more match.
