Silhavy's assistant, Jiri Chytry, will take charge of the Czech team in Glasgow.

The team says one unnamed player also tested positive and is also in isolation.

The Czech's Nations League campaign has been badly hit by the virus.

Last month, the Czechs had to name a completely new squad just a day before the Nations League home game against Scotland after an outbreak in camp. They lost that game in Olomouc 2-1.

Three Czech players tested positive last week before another Nations League match in Israel that the Czechs managed to win 2-1 on Sunday.

Scotland were also affected after Southamption midfileder Stuart Armstrong tested positive ahead of last week’s play-off semi-final win over Israel, with close contacts Kieran Tierney and Ryan Christie also ruled out of the matches against Slovakia and Czech Republic after being ordered to self-isolate.
