Wolves‘ Ladislav Krejčí has suffered an injury, raising concern over his involvement with the Czech Republic in this international break.
The centre-back featured in the EFL Cup win over Port Vale in August and then missed the following league matches because of a fitness concern.
Krejčí made his first league appearance of the season in Wolves’ draw against Birmingham City and got his name on the scoresheet.
The 27-year-old again featured in their Championship win over Sheffield United. Wolves secured a win over West Bromwich Albion on Sunday, and a calf injury forced him to miss this clash.
César Peixoto has confirmed the Czech Republic international’s setback. The manager also admitted he’s unsure of the defender’s participation in this international break.
NT worried about Wolves player’s setback
Czech Republic manager Santi Denia is expecting to have Ladislav Krejčí for the UEFA Nations matches against Croatia, England, Spain and England.
That’s according to Live Sport, who reports this, after reporting about Ladislav Krejčí’s fresh setback.
Another Czech outlet, iSport, relays César Peixoto’s comments about the Wolves man’s calf injury and covers the latest.
They don’t share the same confidence as Live Sport. His setback is an ‘inconvenience’ for the national team, who would have to manage without the player for the upcoming fixtures.
Krejčí has captained the national team in March, and the expectation was for him to wear the armband again. West Ham United’s Tomáš Souček is on the sidelines with a serious injury.
If he were to miss the UEFA Nations League fixtures, Denia has to select a new captain.

Wolves to closely monitor developments
César Peixoto has confirmed he has no information about Ladislav Krejčí’s involvement for his country in the coming weeks.
The manager and the Molineux club can hope he doesn’t feature for his country to make it worse. Either way, they will keep a close watch on the what the Czech Republic plan to do.
There will be more clarity on the Wolves man’s injury in the next few hours or days.
Last month, Real Sociedad’s Yangel Herrera said his former Girona teammate wants to join the La Liga side. The Czech will look to put the summer disappointment and now the injury blow behind him to quickly return to the pitch.
