Czech squad for Euro 2008 announced

National manager, Karel Bruckner, just announced his 23-man squad for the 2008 European Championships this summer.

Most notably, the Czechs will be without two of their biggest stars, Paul Nedved (Juventus) and Tomas Rosicky (Arsenal). Nedved, has chosen to stay retired from international football, and Rosicky had to withdraw due to long-time injury that forced him to miss most of the latter part of the season with Arsenal.
