HAMBURG, Germany : Czech coach Ivan Hasek lamented his squad’s bad luck so far at Euro 2024 and hopes for a change in fortunes in their final Group F match against Turkey, Hasek said on Saturday after the 1-1 draw with Georgia.

"Obviously we had some bad luck in some situations but maybe we will get lucky in the next game,” Hasek said. But a concern for Hasek centers on the health of Bayern Leverkusen forward Schick - joint top scorer with five goals at the last Euros – who limped off soon after his goal. Hasek said Antonin Barak only played 15 minutes due to a fever the night before and that he was forced to withdraw a number of players in the second half because so many had received yellow cards.
