Czech national team member Vaclav Pilarž (23) seriously injured his knee on Wednesday in a friendly match against Ukraine and is facing a six-month break.
As the tests showed, the new Wolfsburg footballer has torn cruciate ligaments and will be operated on today or tomorrow.
The guy who drew attention to himself in the play-off matches with Montenegro, and then at the European Championship, arrived in Wolfsburg this summer from Hradec Kralove for 1,5 million euros.
However, he will have to wait for the spring part of the season to play for the team where his colleague from the national team, Petr Jiracek, has been for six months.
By the way, this is a new hard blow for Felix Magat's team, because in the recent friendly match against Manchester City, striker Patrik Helmes suffered the same injury.
