Full evidence note

Tolisso took both observed 2026 preseason penalties. Openda's confirmed arrival and 14/18 career record place him above Šulc's 7/10 as the practical specialist fallback. Neither backup has taken an OL penalty with Tolisso present. Conditions: The first penalty after Openda joins team training is a direct precedence test. If Openda is not a regular starter, Šulc becomes practical second choice.
