First senior call-up for Kovar
Our Under-23s keeper has been rewarded for his form with a place in the group preparing for Wednesday’s international friendly against Ukraine.
His country’s official Twitter account explained it was on the back of his clean-sheet performances for the Under-21s against Slovenia and Albania and follows the news that Olympiacos’ Tomas Vaclik has picked up an injury.
