Injuries take some gloss off Czech win

CZECH REPUBLIC striker Milan Baros fears he will miss the entire World Cup with a foot injury.

The Aston Villa forward has been unable to train properly for a fortnight after developing a problem on his instep and cannot even walk without feeling some degree of pain.

Czech Republic coach Karel Bruckner had hoped to have Baros available for last night’s 3-0 Group E win over the US, but in the end his star striker was unable to even do any running in the warm-up.
