Although the starting line up should be slowly crystallizing by now one should take into account the absence of two injured players (Sňozík and Hašek) who were left behind to train individually. Also, forward Aziz Ibragimov left the training camp to join the Uzbekistan national team for its upcoming World Cup qualification games.
