Overmars Czechs in for opening match

Marc Overmars has overcome a hamstring injury and will now line up for Holland in their Euro 2000 opener against the Czech Republic.

The Arsenal winger, who missed the final warm-up game against Poland at the weekend, trained alone yesterday and said: 'It went well for me. What I need now is a couple of days training with the rest of the team.'

Coach Frank Rijkaard said Overmars would take his place in the Dutch midfield:

'Overmars will be 100% fit against the Czechs, he stressed.

Rijkaard faces a selection headache at left-back, with Rangers duo Arthur Numan and Giovanni van Bronckhorst competing with Barcelona's Boudewijn Zenden.
