Czech Republic return to a World Cup with a solid squad from Europe's most physical and disciplined end. And with a glorious pedigree: this country (as Czechoslovakia) was runner-up in the world twice. They land in Group A, Mexico's group.

🌟 Patrik Schick (Bayer Leverkusen) is the hitman (25 goals in 52 matches) and faces his first World Cup. The midfield is ruled by Tomáš Souček (West Ham).

🆕 The captain is Ladislav Krejčí (Wolves), and the fresh face comes from youngster Hugo Sochůrek (17), one of Czech football's biggest prospects.

👴 Surprise on the bench: manager Koubek (74 years old), who replaced the sacked Hašek, sneaks 17-year-old Sochůrek onto the squad list.

🔙 Czechia reclaim their place among the elite backed by Souček's steel and Schick's firepower, with an open group to dream of the last 16.
