Czech Republic captain Vladimir Darida is doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Netherlands in the round of 16 of the European Championship.
The team says Darida sustained an unspecified injury during practice on Friday and didn’t participate in pre-match training in Prague.
A Czech team spokesman says the medical team has been treating Darida and it was not yet clear if he will recover in time for Sunday’s game in Budapest.
Darida’s loss would be a blow for the Czechs. The 30-year-old midfielder is the engine of the team and its most experienced player with 73 international appearances.
The team’s flight to Budapest was postponed until later in the day because of a technical problem with the plane.
