Czech Republic trained on Monday (20th June) with goalkeeper Petr Cech declaring their final game in Group D against Turkey in Lens a "must-win" match.

SOUNDBITE: (Czech) Petr Cech, Czech Republic goalkeeper(on how this game will be different to their meetings with Turkey in qualifying for Euro 2016):

"It will be a different game because it will be a decisive game to decide which team will go through. During qualifying you have a game at home and a game away. Here it's a 90-minute game with direct elimination. Both teams are in the same situation - you must win to go through. That's the difference."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Petr Cech, Czech Republic goalkeeper (on how the team will cope without the injured Tomas Rosicky):

"Well obviously he's a big loss. He's one of the key players, but the other players will have to step up and the team will have to step up. I think we are a team who, our biggest strength is to the team play. We don't have big stars, but our togetherness and the team spirit is usually our biggest strength, so we will have to, as a team we will have to make up for this loss, obviously, and the other players will have a chance to show that they can do it."
