Hložek, 18, gets first call-up ahead of Nations League games

Eighteen-year-old Sparta Prague forward Adam Hložek has received his first call-up for the Czech national football squad ahead of two games in a new edition of the Nations League.

Hložek’s Sparta teammate Bořek Dočkal has also been included in coach Jaroslav Šilhavý’s squad for the matches, after a two-year absence from the national setup.

The Czechs play Slovakia in Bratislava on September 4 and host Scotland in Olomouc three days later.
