Czechia superstar Pavel Sulc has declared himself fit and ready for Thursday’s crunch World Cup playoff semi-final clash against Ireland in Prague.

Sulc became the latest major export from the domestic league when he moved from Viktoria Plzeň to Lyon last summer but there were fears a hamstring injury would rule the playmaker out.
