English defender Harry Maguire identified as a weak link by striker Matej Vydra of the Czech Republic

Czech striker, Matej Vydra, appears to have identified the Englishman Harry Maguire as a potential defensive link to be aimed when both nations will meet during their Euro 2020 Group A qualifying match this week.

A packed crowd will be in attendance at Wembley on Friday night when Gareth Southgate World Cup semi-finalists will be back for the first time since their dramatic victory in the Nations League against Croatia in November.

Vydra, the leader of the Burnley group, is one of the main attack threats in this clash. He has struggled for form and regular Premier League play since his arrival at Turf Moor from Derby County last summer.

And although the 26-year-old has been very appreciative of England's prowess, he does not believe their defense is so great and spoke of an occasional lack of awareness on the part of Maguire. to play for the Czechs.

The mbadive central defender was sent off after just four minutes of Leicester's 2-1 win over Burnley last weekend against Johann Berg Gudmundsson's foul.

"[Harry] Kane is top, [Marcus] Rashford too, [Raheem] Sterling is in excellent shape. The attack is very strong, "said Vydra.

"Defense, I'm not saying it's not strong either, but it's not as strong as the attack.

"For example, Maguire. We talked to him about Burnley before playing against Leicester. It sometimes seems like he does not know what's going on behind him, so he got a red card after five minutes of the game against Burnley. "

After facing the Czech Republic, England will travel to Podgorica on Monday night to face Montenegro before returning to the League of Nations with a semi-final against the Netherlands in Portugal in June.
