PRAGUE (AP) " Tomas Rosicky has returned to the Czech Republic's national team after almost a year of injuries. The creative midfielder was included Thursday in the 28-man European Championship preliminary squad announced by coach Pavel Vrba ahead of the team's training camp in Austria. Rosicky, who has made 100 international appearances, injured his knee in a Euro 2016 qualifying match against Iceland in June. The 35-year-old Rosicky didn't play at all in the Premier League last season. When he recovered, he was injured again playing for Arsenal in an FA Cup match against Burnley in January.
