Striker worried for place at Euro 2008
Milan Baros concedes he may have to leave Lyon in January in order to preserve his place in the Czech Republic side.
The striker has started just five matches in Ligue 1 this season and is worried for his national team place at Euro 2008.
The former Liverpool and Aston Villa forward has been linked with a return to the Premier League, although he does not regret joining Lyon.
However, Baros acknowledges that, if his situation does not improve in the coming weeks, he will have to consider his position with the French champions.
Problem to solve
"What I am experiencing is not that easy, but I accept it and I respect everyone at Lyon," Baros told
L'Equipe.
"The coach makes his choices. I absolutely don't regret joining Lyon last January. Above all I don't forget in May I won my first trophy, and I found a great club and a great team here.
"But since my arrival the coach has changed and Karim Benzema is scoring a lot of goals, and become a regular in the starting XI.
"To want to stay in the national team and play at Euro 2008, you need to play in your club. It is a problem I will have to solve.
"However, December is not the right month to talk about it with my officials. We will talk with the coach and the officials in January.
"There are just two solutions - either I know I will play more regularly at Lyon before the Euros, or I will need to think about leaving."
