Czech Republic goalkeeper Petr Cech has urged his teammates to raise their game in Tuesday's match against Turkey after losing captain Tomas Rosicky to injury at the European Championship. Rosicky suffered a partial tear of a thigh muscle in Friday's 2-2 draw with Croatia, ruling the Czechs' inspirational playmaker out of the tournament. ''It's a big loss, he's one of the key players,'' Cech said on Monday, as the team prepared for its decisive Group D match against the Turks at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis in Lens.
