The ex-Liverpool man is a key part of Michal Bilek's squad and was in line to start their opening game against Russia in Wroclaw on Friday.

Galatasaray man Baros, who has scored 41 goals in his international career, picked up a potentially tournament-ending injury while training with the national side on Tuesday.

Team doctor Petr Krejci told Czech website isport.cz: "We do not know if it's just a muscle contracture, which would be quite favorable, or that there was a rupture.

"If he will be able to play against Russia we still can not tell."
