Prague: Lucie Safarova should be able to line up for the Czech Republic in November`s Fed Cup final after returning home from hospital following a bacterial infection.

The world number five spent a week in hospital after contracting a fever and suffering from pain in her neck, caused by the infection.

The 28-year-old was forced to miss this week`s WTA Tour event in Tokyo but may play in Beijing from October 5-11.

She is also expected to be fit to play in the Fed Cup final in Prague against Russia from November 14-15, according to the team`s spokesman Karel Tejkal.
