Czech Republic coach Karel Bruckner is puzzled with which strikers to use against Ghana, as Aston Villa's Milan Baros and AC Monaco's Jan Koller are ruled out due to injury. Red Bull Salzburg's Vratislav Lokvenc the strongest candidate to replace Koller.

Milan Baros' injury has been a mystery for the Czechs, while sources from the medical team suggest that he is likely to miss the rest of the tournament.

Jan Koller teared a hamstring in the opeinng match against the USA, which has ruled him out of the remaining two matches of Group E. The next match is against Ghana's Black Stars and Bruckner knows that the African team's only target is to win the match and is considering his options for the starting line-up.

Red Bull Salzburg's Vratislav Lokvenc might be in the starting line-up replacing Koller, whom he replaced during the USA match. However, this remains to be seen tomorrow on the line-ups that will be submitted to FIFA before the match.
