"UEFA just insisted that the headguard did not pose a danger to the other players and that all logos were hidden," said federation general secretary Petr Fousek.

Cech has already played several games for his club side Chelsea in the English Premiership while wearing the headguard, which is made by New Zealand company Canterbury.

He spent three months on the sidelines after fracturing his skull in a collision during a match against Reading in October.

The Czech Republic's European qualifier match will be on March 24 against group D leaders Germany.
