The national team is having trouble, it doesn’t end with the injured Tomášek. Rulík received three more letters of apology – Sport.cz

Both Zadina and Kořenář started the weekend game. In particular, the 26-year-old Sparta goalkeeper is going under a heavy workload without Jakub Kovář, which apparently affected his health. He will not make his second national team start this time. 22-year-old Jakub Málek will be replaced in the nomination, who caught six duels for the national team last year and is now having a successful start to the season in Ilves Tampere.

Coach Rulík also had to deal with an absence in the offensive line. In addition to Zadina, Jiří Smejkal also apologized, who was already absent from Dynamo in Sunday’s match against Vítkovice, so it was expected that he would not participate in the meeting. So the head coach called the substitutes Lence and Kunc.

Radan Lenc, who is thirty-three, has participated in two world championships and the Olympic Games in Beijing. He finished the last World Championship in Prague as a substitute. He has been working in Jönköping in the HV71 team for the third year, this year he collected five points in fifteen games for three goals and two assists.

Michal Kunc, who is nine years younger, is a representative rookie, along with goalkeeper Ondřej Kacetl and forward Marko Kalus, he will be the third debater in the current selection. With twelve points (3 + 9) he is the most productive player in Olomouc and with + 15 he leads the plus-minus statistics of the entire extra league.

The national team will meet in Karlovy Vary today and will have their first training session early in the evening. On Thursday from 17:00 in the KV field, the national team will open the season with a clash with Sweden as part of the Karjala tournament. A day later, he will move to Helsinki, Finland, where he will challenge the home team on Saturday from 4:00 pm and against Switzerland on Sunday from 12:30 pm.
