Bostjan Cesar: 'England have regressed in last four years'

Cesar: 'England have regressed'

Slovenia captain Bostjan Cesar has insisted that his side will not fear England this weekend, suggesting that the Three Lions are a weaker outfit now than they were four years ago.

The two sides meet at Wembley on Saturday with three Euro 2016 qualification points on offer.

Despite England winning their first three games of the campaign, Cesar insists that the Fantje will head to London with "big confidence" due to the fact that their opponents have regressed since their last encounter at the 2010 World Cup.

"We will go into this game with big confidence after beating Switzerland," he is quoted as saying by The Express. "This England now do not have players like [Frank] Lampard, John Terry and Ashley Cole.

"We think we can play against this team - they have changed a lot. We do not think they are as strong as the last time we played them. We are looking for a positive result. We have six points now and we are doing well."

Victory for Slovenia this weekend will see them draw level on points with Roy Hodgson's side in Group E.
