It is still unknown whether striker Jan Koller will recover from his knee injury in time to play for the Czech Republic at the World Cup. Koller, the Czechs leading international scorer, injured his knee back in September. He won’t know for sure whether doctors will clear him to play until a May physical, but at this point he believes there is a 50 percent chance he’ll be ready to go.

If Koller is unable to go, the Czechs will have a huge hole to fill in their lineup and it will put further pressure on midfielder Pavel Nedved to spearhead the team’s attack
