Baros may play for Czechs against Italy

WESTERBURG, Germany, June 20: Czech Republic striker Milan Baros returned to full training today after struggling with a foot injury and could play in Thursday's Group E match against Italy.

''There is a chance Milan Baros will be fit for the Italy game,'' coach Karel Brueckner told reporters.

The return of Baros would be greatly welcomed by the Czech team, who are much depleted ahead of the match, which they need to win to guarantee a place in the knock-out stage.

Baros, top scorer at Euro 2004, had not trained properly since sustaining the injury in a June 3 friendly.
