Yaroslav Shilgavy's team of 22 players tested the lawn of Metalist Stadium.

After winning the Slovak team in Trnava - 2:1 the Czech national team, almost without rest, went to Ukraine for a match with the blue and yellows. The new Czech leader Yaroslav Shilgavy brought 19 field players and three goalkeepers to Kharkiv, who took part in the pre-game training. The class took place at Metalist Stadium immediately after press conference head coach and captain of the Czech team Borzek Dochkal, who became the hero of the match with the Slovaks, giving two assists.

Before the match in Kharkiv, the guests have personnel problems: Marek Sukhi and Vladimir Darida were hospitalized. After the game with the Slovaks, the defender of the German "Hoffenheim" Pavel Kaderzhabek left the team's location. Radym Rzeznik and Josef Huschbauer also did not arrive with the team. Instead, Yaroslav Shilhavy urgently summoned Vladimir Tsoufal and Ondrej Kudela from Slavia, as well as Michal Travnik and Lukasz Masopust from Jablonec.

However, despite all the difficulties, the Czech national team trained in Kharkiv in a good mood. It is expected that the team will be supported by 20-30 fans and another 100 partners of the national team, who will be located at the VIP-seats of the Kharkiv stadium.
