Soucek fell to the ground while challenging for the ball and Bednarek swung out a leg to make a clearance.

He was still able to complete the match as his nation saw out a key draw in their Euro 2024 qualifier.

It meant that all they need is to avoid defeat against Moldova on Monday and their place at next summer's tournament is secure.

They will have to do that without three players, including Soucek's West Ham teammate Vladimir Coufal, who were sent home for violating team rules.

Soucek then later showed off the nasty wound that was caused by Bednarek's boot.
