Jiří Pavlenka (born 14 April 1992) is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Werder Bremen and the Czech Republic national team.

Club career[edit]

Slavia Prague[edit]

Pavlenka joined Slavia Prague from Baník Ostrava in January 2016 for a transfer fee of €380,000.[2][3] He won the league title with Slavia Prague in the 2016–17 Czech First League season.[4]

Werder Bremen[edit]

In June 2017, Pavlenka joined Werder Bremen signing a three-year contract with the option of a fourth year.[5] The transfer fee was estimated at €3 million.[5]

In August 2018, following a strong debut season in the Bundesliga, Pavlenka agreed a contract extension with the club.[6]

International career[edit]

Having represented under-21, Pavlenka received his first call-up to the senior Czech Republic side for a friendly against Slovakia in March 2015.[7] He debuted for the senior side on 15 November 2016 in a friendly match against Denmark.[citation needed]

Along with other Czech players in Bundesliga, Pavlenka was called for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification in March 2021, and was supposed to be available only for the first match against Estonia.[8] However, due to COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, the German government removed the necessity for players to undergo a mandatory two-week quarantine after returning to Germany, which the Bundesliga clubs discouraged.[9]

In May 2021, Pavlenka was included in the 23-man Czech squad for the rescheduled UEFA Euro 2020.[10] He was injured during a match against Estonia, later replaced by Tomáš Koubek and Vaclík.[11]
