Vachousek, who helped Slavia humiliate Belgium's Excelsior Mouscron 5-1 on Thursday in the UEFA Cup, is one of six reigning under-21 European champions in the Czech squad.
Liverpool's attacking midfielder Vladimir Smicer will be absent due to a broken toe.
The Czechs play Moldova away on October 12 and Belarus in the northern Czech town of Teplice on October 16.
