Ludwig Augustinsson: 'England Under-21s overrated'

Ludwig Augustinsson believes that England Under-21s are a "little overrated" ahead of their U21 Euro 2015 meeting with Sweden.

Sweden Under-21s defender Ludwig Augustinsson has claimed that England Under-21s are "a little overrated" ahead of their U21 Euro 2015 meeting tomorrow.

England qualified as one of the top seeds for the tournament in the Czech Republic, but lost 1-0 to Portugal in their opening game of the tournament on Thursday.

Sweden go into the match top of Group B after a surprise comeback victory against Italy in their opening match, and Augustinsson believes that England aren't as good as some believe.

"A little overrated, I think they are sometimes," he told reporters.

"Some players go for such sick amounts of money in England and is a bit more expensive than what they are worth.

"To take an example, Germany is a much better squad. We'll see tomorrow how good they are."

England have lost their last five games in the Under-21 European Championship.
