Sparta did not show significant offensive play in Mladá Boleslav and never shot on goal. They took to the field without Lukáš Haraslín and Jan Kuchta, with Guddal, for whom it was a debut, and Hollý also appearing in the lineup. After three rounds, Sparta had only three points from a home victory over Zlín, as they began the season with a 1:3 defeat at Zbrojovka Brno's ground. lidovky.cz ↗

The Letná club is meanwhile dealing with significant squad changes. Captain Haraslín left after five years to Saudi Arabian Al-Fatehu SC, Kuchta moved on loan with an option to Legia Warsaw, and goalkeeper Peter Vindahl left on loan without an option. According to new information, two more players could leave Sparta and the situation around Veljko Birmančević remains uncertain. sport.cz ↗

On the other hand, the arrival of Matěj Jurásek from second-tier English Norwich is gaining momentum. The former Slavia winger, with whom Slavia won the championship title, came to Letná on loan and his transfer attracted attention among fans. Sparta will also pay a fine of 160 thousand crowns for fan misconduct. idnes.cz ↗
