Baros suffers injury

Czech Republic striker Milan Baros pulled out of training on Tuesday with a thigh strain, giving his team another injury worry ahead of their opening Euro 2012 match against Russia.

Captain Tomas Rosicky, who has struggled with a calf problem, trained for a second straight day but Baros left the training pitch early after feeling tightness in his thigh, Czech team doctor Petr Krejci told local media.

“He stretched his abductor muscle,” Krejci told local media.  Baros, the Golden Boot winner at Euro 2004, has been earmarked by coach Michal Bilek to lead the attack at the tournament being co-hosted by Poland and Ukraine.
