Ready to resume midfield duties
Bucha is back with FC Cincinnati following international duty with Czechia and is available for Saturday's MLS clash against Atlanta United after being omitted from Cincinnati's latest injury report.
Analysis: Bucha missed the matchup against Montreal while representing Czechia during the international break but is now ready to reclaim his regular starting role in midfield. The midfielder has been a mainstay for Cincinnati this season, recording six goals and four assists across 25 MLS appearances. Obinna Nwobodo saw increased playing time during Bucha's absence but could return to a reduced role with the Czech international back in the mix.
Called up with Czechia
Bucha has been called up by Czechia for the four matches during the September-October international break and will therefore miss Saturday's clash against Montreal.
Analysis: Bucha has been an undisputed starter in the midfield for Cincinnati this season, scoring six goals and providing four assists in 25 MLS appearances, but will miss the match against Montreal on Saturday due to the call up. He should return in time to face Atlanta on October 10 and Obinna Nwobodo should see increased playing time in his absence.
