Expected to feature in World Cup
Sulc is part of Czechia's World Cup squad and could be heavily involved in attack during the early stages of the tournament.
Analysis: Sulc appears well positioned to open the World Cup in the starting lineup after establishing himself as one of Czechia's most productive attacking midfielders, scoring twice and recording an assist across nine qualifying matches. The Lyon standout combines creativity with a willingness to attack the box, making him a threat both as a scorer and provider. His offensive appeal is enhanced by his ability to contribute through shots and chances created, making him an interesting option throughout the competition. At 25 years old, Sulc is entering his prime and could emerge as one of the main forces of Czechia's attack if the team is to generate consistent scoring opportunities.
Trains with team, available Saturday
Sulc (undisclosed) returned to full team training Friday and is back for Saturday's clash against Auxerre, according to coach Paulo Fonseca, per Le Progres OL.
Analysis: Sulc had been limited to individual work on a separate pitch earlier in the week, making his return to the group a significant step forward after yet another disrupted spell this season. The Czech forward has had a stop-start campaign due to recurring injury issues, but getting back into full sessions on the eve of the Auxerre fixture puts him right back in contention. Afonso Moreira had been covering in his absence, but Sulc's return gives coach Paulo Fonseca more creative options in the final third for the ending stretch of the season.
