Czech Republic captain Tomas Rosicky resumed full training on Monday
after struggling with a calf injury boosting his side as they prepare
for Friday's Euro 2012 opener against Russia, Czech media said.
"He's
OK now. I think he will play against Russia on Friday," the website of
the DNES broadsheet quoted Czech head coach Michal Bilek as saying.
"We could see he's pretty hungry after the break," Bilek added.
The 31-year-old Arsenal midfielder suffered the injury in his last game for the Gunners on May 13.
The
injury forced Bilek to replace defender Daniel Pudil with 21-year-old
midfielder Vladimir Darida from Czech 2011 champions Viktoria Plzen as a
back-up in case Rosicky did not recover in time.
The Czech
Republic, in their fifth straight European championships, face Russia on
June 8, Greece on June 12 and co-hosts Poland on June 16 in Group A.
