Article body
Marek Jankulovski will be out of action for at least three weeks with the ankle injury which forced him to miss Udinese Calcio's 2-1 win against Internazionale FC at the San Siro last Saturday.
Extent of injury confirmed
The Czech international has undergone a magnetic resonance scan which confirmed the extent of his injury. Jankulovski will now miss the Czech Republic's friendly against Sweden on 20 November. The left-footed midfield player has been capped 19 times, scoring four goals. The 25-year-old has played six matches this season for Udinese.
Martinez relief
Meanwhile, the injury suffered by Udinese's Colombian defender Gonzalo Martinez against Inter is less serious than expected. A scan confirmed that the player has not broken his left leg as was first feared last weekend. Martinez should return to action in two weeks.
