Dwight McNeil has earned his first call-up to the England Under-21 squad.
The Clarets’ winger has previously been capped at Under-20 level after breaking into the senior set-up at Turf Moor.
And 12 months to the day since his full Burnley debut – against Olympiakos in the Europa League – the 19-year-old has been elevated to the Under-21 squad for their opening European Championship qualifiers.
“I think he’s earned the right,” said Burnley boss Sean Dyche.
“Not only because he’s playing first-team football in the Premier League, which is difficult, but also by the level of his performances and the fact he keeps working hard.
