Czech footballer missing Euros regrets go-kart that led to injury

Footballer Michal Sadílek says riding a go-kart while at a training camp in Austria with the Czech national team, which resulted in an injury to him, was a mistake. The 25-year-old was forced to pull out of the squad for the European Championships after a fall left him requiring stitches in his leg.

Sadílek said on social media that he was touched his teammates had been photographed with his jersey after their final warm-up game before the Euros on Monday.

The Czechs play their opening group game in the competition against Portugal next Tuesday.
