Tomas Rosicky is still injured and unlikely to play for Sparta Prague until the spring of 2017.
Rosicky's highly anticipated return to the Czech league after more than 15 years away received a further blow after Sparta coach David Holoubek said the playmaker 'is still injured' and 'unlikely to play a game in the autumn.'
Holoubek gave no details about Rosicky's condition.
After Rosicky signed a two-year contract with Sparta in August, he came on for only 18 minutes as a substitute in a game against Mlada Boleslav on September 10 and has not been on the bench since.
