Jaroslav Zelený is a dependable, experienced right-back who has spent the majority of his career in Czech football, with long stints at Jablonec and now Sparta Prague, where he has been a consistent performer since 2022. At 33, he is one of the older defenders in the squad and brings the kind of domestic experience — over a decade in the Czech top flight — that provides stability in a squad with several younger options. He is not a player who dominates headlines, but his positional reliability and understanding of the game at this level make him a useful squad member, particularly as cover for Vladimír Coufal.
