Baros to miss qualifier

Czech striker Milan Baros will be out of the Euro 2008 Champion-ship qualifier against San Marino on Saturday because of a back injury, the team doctor announced on Thursday.
"Unfortunately, the worst scenario has been confirmed. It is not just a muscle injury but also a small haematoma," Petr Krejci declared in a news conference in Prague. "He needs a complete rest in the coming days," he added, without however excluding the 25 year old's participation in the home tie against the Republic of Ireland on September 12.
Top striker in the Euro-2004 competition with five goals, the Lyon attacker was injured during team training on Wednesday.
He could be replaced up front by one of the finds of the recent under 20 world championships, Martin Fenin. Fenin, who plays for Czech league team FK Teplice, helped his country reach the finals.
The Czech Republic is currently second placed in the qualification group, trailing Germany by five points and one point ahead of Ireland.
