Nedved quits international football

    If ever there was a player you would describe as world class, he's one. Huge blow for the Czech Republic and football fans everywhere.

    Czech Republic captain Pavel Nedved has confirmed his retirement from international football via an announcement from the Czech federation on Friday. The 32-year-old won 83 caps in a glittering career that saw him star in three European Championships.


    The 32-year-old European footballer of the year said this month he would not return to the national squad until he had fully recovered from a knee injury.

    Midfielder Nedved, who plays for Juventus in Italy, suffered the injury in the Euro 2004 semi-final loss to Greece.

    Nedved made his debut for the Czech Republic against Ireland in 1994 and played 83 times for his country, scoring 17 goals.

    He moved to Lazio from Sparta Prague in 1996, helping the Rome-based club to victories in the Italian Cup in 1998 and the European Winners' Cup in 1999.

    The following season Lazio clinched the Italian league and cup double and Juventus paid 41 million euros for Nedved in 2001. He helped Juventus win league titles in 2002 and 2003.

    In 2003 he missed Juventus's loss in the Champions League final to AC Milan after a booking in the semi-finals.

    The Czech Republic will need to replace their most influential player for the remaining 2006 World Cup qualifiers, after an opening 2-0 loss to the Netherlands. Nedved did not play in that game.

    The Czechs play Romania in a Group One qualifier on October 9 and Armenia four days later.
