Hide AdSpeaking to TheFA.com, Fairclough said: “The fixture against Czech Republic is yet another opportunity for our young internationals to experience European football at a high level.
“Their national football team is currently ranked 25 in the FIFA rankings and this fixture will feature the cream of the Czech Republic U21s so will expose our players to yet another style of play which can only enhance their experience.
“The squad selected is a hybrid of the players who featured in the last two internationals against Bermuda and Latvia, coupled with some fresh faces who have forced their way into consideration due to their good club form.”
