New Reading midfielder Marek Matejovsky has been included in the Czech Republic squad for two friendlies in February.

The former Mlada Boleslav ace, who signed for the Royals in a £1.42 million deal last week, could add to his six international caps in matches against Greece and Poland next month.

The Greece match is unofficial and defenders like Jan Rajnoch or Jan Simunek may also get a chance to prove themselves and win a place in Karel Brueckner's final Euro 2008 squad.

Czech Republic will play Switzerland, Portugal and Turkey in the Group A in next summer's tournament in Austria and Switzerland.
