Josef Hušbauer (born 16 March 1990) is a Czech football midfielder who is currently playing for Czech First League side Slavia Prague. A product of the Sparta Prague football academy, Hušbauer represented his country at various age groups before making his international debut for the Czech Republic in 2012.

Club career

Hušbauer started his football career at Sparta Prague. He made his first league appearances in the 2007–08 Czech 2. Liga for FC Vysočina Jihlava.[1] In 2008, he was sold to FK Viktoria Žižkov, where he spent one season. For the 2009-2010 season he was loaned to 1. FK Příbram. In 2010, Hušbauer moved to FC Baník Ostrava, where he played for one season before being sold to Sparta Prague.[2]

Hušbauer joined Italian side Cagliari on loan in January 2015.[3] However, he only played two matches under manager Gianfranco Zola, and played no further first-team matches after Zola was replaced by Zdeněk Zeman, subsequently cutting his loan period short and returning to Sparta.[4] In the autumn part of the 2015–16 Czech First League, Hušbauer dropped out of the Sparta Prague first team starting eleven and played only two full matches out of 15.[5]

He signed for Sparta Prague's fierce rivals Slavia Prague in December 2015 for a reported fee of 15 million CZK.[6] On 9 May 2018 he played as Slavia Prague won the 2017-18 Czech Cup final against FK Jablonec.[7]

International career

Hušbauer played for Czech youth national teams from the under-16 level.[8] He made his international debut for the Czech Republic in 2012, his first match being an international friendly against Ukraine, which finished goalless.[8] Hušbauer scored his first international goal in an international friendly match against Finland, which finished 2–2.[9]
