London, Oct.13 : Belarus striker Vitaly Bulyga has labeled Wayne Rooney as the weakest link in the England football team ahead of their match, though the latter scored twice in England's 5-1 Wembley win over Kazakhstan on Saturday.

Bulyga warned: "We are not scared of Rooney. He is not unbeatable and as a human being he has weaknesses. We will use that."

According to The Sun, Rooney's suspect temperament will come under scrutiny in Minsk on Wednesday when England face minnows Belarus in a Group Six qualifier.

Bulyga insisted that Belarus are not scared of Rooney, 22, who has scored three goals in his last two England games in the victories over Croatia and Kazakhstan.

"We are confident of beating England," he added.
