Smicer hoping for return after two-month injury lay-off

Czech footballer Vladimir Smicer is hoping to make a return for Slavia Prague this weekend after being out injured for over two months. Smicer, who is 34, has made few appearances for Slavia since making a high-profile return to the club in the summer. The midfielder is now in full training again and says he should be ready for Saturday's game against Teplice. Smicer has scored 27 goals in 81 appearances for the Czech Republic.
