Čech to miss match against Slovenia

Czech goalkeeper Petr Čech will miss Wednesday's World Cup qualifier against Slovenia because of a thigh injury. The team’s spokesman said Wednesday morning’s practice had showed that the injury to Petr Čech's thigh muscle limited him to such a point that couldn't play at 100 percent. The Chelsea keeper, 26, sustained the injury during the Czech Republic's 2-1 loss to Poland on Saturday.
