West Ham defender Vladimir Coufal has been released from the Czech Republic squad.

Coufal has been sent home for "seriously breaking team rules". Teammates Jakub Brabec and Jan Kuchta have also been jettisoned.

The trio were supposed to be resting for their Euro qualifier with Moldova, but less than 48 hours before kick-off they were reportedly out partying late into the night.

The Czech Republic face Moldova in their crucial final group stage game tomorrow.

A statement from the Czech FA read: "Three players fundamentally violated the internal rules of the national team on Saturday night.

"Jakub Brabec, Vladimir Coufal and Jan Kuchta have left the national team meeting with immediate effect by the decision of the management."
