Chelsea's Petr Cech and Arsenal's Tomas Rosicky have been named in a 24-man provisional Czech Republic squad for the European Championships.

Blues stopper Cech still has the small matter of a Champions League final against Bayern Munich on Saturday before this summer's tournament, so coach Michal Bilek has named a fourth goalkeeper in case the 29-year-old picks up an injury during the match.

Bilek will cut the squad, which currently includes in-form Gunners midfielder Rosicky and former Liverpool striker Milan Baros, to a 23-man party next week.

They have been drawn in Group A for the Euros against Russia, Greece and Poland.

Full squad:

Goalkeepers: Petr Cech (Chelsea), Jaroslav Drobny (Hamburg), Tomas Grigar (Teplice), Jan Lastuvka (Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk)

Defenders: Theodor Gebre Selassie (Liberec), Roman Hubnik (Hertha Berlin), Michal Kadlec (Bayer Leverkusen), David Limbersky (Viktoria Plzen), Daniel Pudil (Cesena), Frantisek Rajtoral (Viktoria Plzen), Tomas Sivok (Besiktas), Marek Suchy (Spartak Moscow)

Midfielders: Tomas Hubschman (Shakhtar Donetsk), Petr Jiracek (Wolfsburg), Daniel Kolar (Viktoria Plzen), Milan Petrzela (Viktoria Plzen), Vaclav Pilar (Viktoria Plzen), Jaroslav Plasil (Bordeaux), Jan Rezek (Anorthosis Famagusta), Tomas Rosicky (Arsenal)

Forwards: Milan Baros (Galatasaray), David Lafata (Jablonec), Tomas Necid (CSKA Moscow), Tomas Pekhart (Nuremberg)
