The Czech Republic will be without Timisoara forward Lukas Magera and Spartak Moscow defender Marek Suchy for its exhibition games in the United States.
The Czech soccer federation said Tuesday that Magera has not been cleared by his club to join the national team and will be replaced by forward Tomas Pekhart of Czech team Jablonec.
Coach Michal Bilek also called up Ankaragucu defender Jan Rajnoch to replace Suchy, who has an ankle injury.
The Czechs will play Turkey on Saturday at Harrison, N.J., then will face the United States three days later at East Hartford, Conn.
