K Cero ICP Kosice admit Zuzana Skvarekova may replace axed power forward Jela Males, the club admits.

Skvarekova, 34, averaged 12.4 points and 7.3 rebounds last season in the FIBA Europe Cup Women and she is on the comeback trail following the birth of her child.

Club general manager Daniel Jendrichovsky said: "We want to find a new center but it is not so easy.

"It is not possible to prepare with three centers only. We have to find a substitute as soon as possible.

"Skvarekova has started to train with our team after maternity leave but we do not know how she will be.

"She could be ready to play in January as long as there are no problems with her family."
