Czechs battling to get Rosicky fit

Tomas Rosicky has returned to Prague for treatment on his Achilles tendon as doctors race to get the Czech Republic captain fit for the Euro 2012 quarter-final with Portugal on Thursday.

Rosicky, the creative force behind the Czech side, will return to their training camp in Wroclaw today after sitting out the 1-0 win over Poland on Saturday that made the Czechs surprise Group A winners.

The midfielder has been having intensive treatment since injuring his foot in their second group match against Greece.

Rosicky said he was hit in the same spot where he had experienced pain at the end of his club season with Arsenal but a scan showed no damage to the tendon.
