Cech is set to return to training this week following a recent shoulder operation while Rosicky, who recently picked up a groin injury, is expected to be fit in time. The Czechs will be without international stalwarts Pavel Nedved of Juventus, and Karel Poborsky, both of whom recently retired from the international game.
