What They're Saying
Czech Republic head coach Pavel Vrba (via UEFA): "It is a complication, but there are other players waiting for their chance and we have called up a few newcomers. I believe we will be able to cope. Apart from the two forced changes, all the players arrived at the camp fit and I hope this remains the case until Sunday."
"We are going to practice things that should help us overcome an Icelandic defense organized in two blocks," he added. "We are going to show our players what weapons Iceland used to defeat the Netherlands, Turkey and Latvia, and how to prevent them from doing the same against us."
