Aston Villa striker Milan Baros is on the sidelines again after picking up an achilles injury whilst playing for the Czech Republic. The striker has been hampered by an achilles injury in recent weeks and although it doesn't seem to be too serious, Baros' injury is still a concern for the Villans who are desperately hoping to have the striker fit and ready for the all-important Birmingham derby on October 16.

Looking forward to the Czech Republic's must-win game against Finland on Wednesday, Petr Krejci, the team doctor, said, "With an eye on Wednesday's game, the worse threat is Baros. Once again he has problems with his achilles, and he did not train on Sunday.

"But he's undergoing intensive rehab, and we think he'll be ready for the game."
