Rada gives Suchý first call-up for World Cup qualifiers

Czech football manager Petr Rada has given Slavia Prague defender Marek Suchý his first call-up to the international squad, ahead of two World Cup qualifiers. The Czech captain Tomáš Rosický, meanwhile, is not in the squad; he sustained a groin injury in training while attempting to return to fitness after a layoff of over a year due to a persistent ligament problem. The Czechs face Slovenia away on March 28 and Slovakia at home four days later.
