" Slovakia will miss top scorer Robert Vittek at European Championships "

20/05/16

Robert Vittek scored two goals against Italy in the 2010 World Cup as Slovakia eliminated the Italians at the group stage with a famous 3-2 victory

Striker Robert Vittek is the headline absentee from the provisional 27-man squad Slovakia coach Jan Kozak has named for Euro 2016.

Vittek, 33, who is Slovakia's all-time top scorer with 23 goals, is injured.

Liverpool's Martin Skrtel is included in the squad after his injury-hit campaign in the Premier League.

Slovakia face Wales, Russia and England in Group B at the finals in France, with their first game against Chris Coleman's side on 11 June.

"The players' names for the nomination were clear so I had no reason to speculate," Kozak said

Always good when one of the opposition players are missing, but the article is really misleading! I looked into it, he's hardly played in these qualifiers
