Czech captain Tomas Rosicky failed to recover from a calf injury to take his place in the starting line-up for Saturday's crucial final Group A clash against Poland at the Municipal Stadium here.
The Arsenal midfielder's place goes to Viktoria Plzen's Daniel Kolar but otherwise the Czechs are unchanged from the side that beat Greece 2-1 in their last match.
Co-hosts Poland are unchanged from their 1-1 draw with Russia meaning PSV Eindhoven goalkeeper Przemyslaw Tyton keeps his place despite Wojciech Szczesny's return from suspension.
Polish coach Franciszek Smuda also opted to keep defensive midfielder Dariusz Dudka in the side rather than inserting the more attack-minded Maciel Rybus.
