Koller banned for crunch clash against Ireland
Monday September 10 2007
Czech Republic striker Jan Koller has been ruled out of Wednesday's Euro 2008 qualifying clash against Ireland through suspension.
Veteran Koller was booked after 62 minutes of yesterday's 3-0 win in San Marino and will now sit out the potentially crucial Group D fixture with the Irish in Prague.
Czech coach Karel Bruckner has called up Libor Dosek as Koller's replacement.
"The loss of Koller for the home game against Ireland is simply a complication," Bruckner said.
"The choice of Libor Dosek seems to be the most suitable solution as we would not be forced to change the style of our play."
On Saturday night, Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky scrambled in the opening goal in an unconvincing display, with Marek Jankulovski and Koller settling matters in the second-half after Alessandro Della Valle had been sent off for the hosts.
