Remains out
Jurasek (hamstring) is out for Tuesday's match against Fenerbahce.
Analysis: Jurasek has yet to play this season, and he'll miss a third straight UCL match due to a lingering hamstring problem he picked up before the 2026 FIFA World Cup. His next chance to play in the European stage will come Nov. 4 at home against Arsenal, though his recovery time will ultimately determine whether he ends up being available for that fixture.
Not playing Tuesday
Jurasek (hamstring) isn't in the squad for Tuesday's UCL match against Sabah.
Analysis: Jurasek was thought to have a slim chance of returning Tuesday, but the Czech international will have to keep waiting to make his 2026/27 season debut. Slavia's next UCL match is scheduled for Oct. 20 at Fenerbahce, and the team also has a domestic league match against Hradec Kralove on Saturday.
Could be available vs. Sabah
Jurasek (hamstring) could be available for Tuesday's game against Sabah, per Idman.biz.
Analysis: Jurasek has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring tear before the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but his return to the squad should represent a huge boost for Slavia, as he's yet to log a single minute of competitive action in the 2026/27 campaign. A final call on his status will be made closer to Tuesday's 12:45 p.m. ET kickoff.
Remains doubtful for Sabah clash
Jurasek (hamstring) remained unavailable for Friday's 1-0 league victory over Zlin and is doubtful for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Sabah FC, the club posted.
Analysis: Jurasek continues to struggle with the effects of a hamstring tear sustained during a national team training camp in Atlanta ahead of the World Cup. The midfielder has managed just four appearances since returning from his lengthy absence, with the lingering issue preventing him from establishing consistent playing time. His continued absence against Zlin raises further concerns about his availability for Tuesday's European matchup, and he remains without a confirmed return date. Jurasek will need to make additional progress in his recovery before being considered for selection.
Still recovering from hamstring tear
Jurasek remains sidelined heading into the Oct. 13 Champions League clash against Sabah FC due to the hamstring tear he suffered at the World Cup, according to Slavia Prague chairman Jaroslav Tvrdik.
Analysis: Jurasek has not yet fully recovered from the hamstring tear suffered during a national team training camp in Atlanta ahead of the World Cup match against South Africa, and has managed just four appearances since returning from that long layoff, with the issue persisting. His recovery timeline will continue to be monitored as Slavia approaches the fixture.
World Cup likely over
Jurasek is likely out for the remainder of the World Cup after suffering a muscle injury in the pre-match training session before the South Africa game, with assistant coach Jan Suchoparek confirming the tournament is effectively over for him, according to Sport CZ. "For David the championship is probably over, it is a muscle injury. It is being discussed whether he will stay with us. We know it is not easy for him. It happened in the pre-match training, he was supposed to be in the starting lineup. We feel sorry for him."
Analysis: Jurasek had been expected to start against South Africa before the injury struck, and discussions are ongoing as to whether he will remain with the squad for the rest of the tournament. The Czech Republic will need to manage without one of their key full-back options as they prepare for their decisive final group stage match against Mexico on Wednesday.
