Unused sub in South Africa contest

Kuchta (ankle) didn't play in Thursday's 1-1 draw with South Africa.

Analysis: Kuchta shook off an ankle sprain that affected him in recent weeks and prevented him from playing against South Korea, but didn't get minutes in this one despite being part of the game-day squad list. Patrik Schick and Adam Hlozek have gotten the most run up front so far.

Available off the bench

Kuchta (ankle) is on the bench for Thursday's clash against South Africa.

Analysis: Kuchta has been included in the squad after returning to full training alongside the rest of the Czech squad during Tuesday's practice, with his recovery from the ankle issue that had kept him out of the World Cup opener translating into a place among the substitutes for the clash against South Africa. The Sparta Prague man's availability gives the coaching staff an additional center-forward option to relieve Patrik Schick if required, though limited chances off the bench are the most likely scenario given the circumstances surrounding his return. The clash against South Africa nonetheless presents the most accessible opportunity of the group stage for him to make an impact and build his fitness heading into the later rounds of the tournament.
