Radoslav Kovac added to Czech squad

Midfielder Radoslav Kovac of West Ham United has replaced the injured Jaroslav Polak in the Czech squad ahead of key 2010 World Cup qualifiers against Slovakia and San Marino.

Polak sustained a knee injury playing for Anderlecht and has been left out of the squad by coach Ivan Hasek on Monday. Hasek called up the 29-year old Kovac to replace him. Kovac recently joined West Ham United from Spartak Moscow on a three-year contract.

The Czechs are fifth in Group 3 with eight points from six games, seven behind leader Slovakia. It will be Hasek's first match in charge since taking over the Czech side last month as coach for the rest of the World Cup qualifying campaign.
