After a 2-0 defeat to Turkey on Tuesday evening, the Czech Republic’s EURO 2016 journey has come to an end. Werder’s Theodor Gebre Selassie could not prevent the 1976 champions’ exit. The 29-year-old didn’t play in the last group game. In contrast, László Kleinheisler has already secured a spot in the round of 16. Due to results in other groups, Hungary are safely through to the knockout stages. Austria’s fate lies in their own hands, with Zlatko Junuzovic’s side facing Iceland on Wednesday evening. 

The Czech Republic had to win against Turkey in order to stand a chance of progressing. However, Burak Yilmaz’s early opener and Ozan Tufan’s goal sealed the Czech team’s exit. Pavel Vrba didn’t call upon Gebre Selassie in the decisive last group game. Werder’s right back only featured in his side’s EURO 2016 opening 1-0 defeat to Spain with the Czech Republic conceding shortly after he was substituted off.

Before his country’s last group game against Portugal on Wednesday evening (18:00 CEST), László Kleinheisler can already look forward to the round of 16. After the 2-0 opening victory over Austria and the draw with European Championship newcomers Iceland (1-1), the Hungarian team have already qualified for the knockout stage. Due to Germany’s victory over Northern Ireland (1-0), Hungary are safely through with four points to their name.

Austria face Iceland on Wednesday evening (18:00 CEST) with their fate in their own hands. If they win, they’ll make it through to the round of 16. However, Werder‘s Zlatko Junuzovic won’t be in action. After a partial LCL tear, the final group game has come too soon for him according to Austria manager Marcel Koller. If the Austrian team progress, the Werder star could be back out on the pitch in the knockouts.
