Leicester City academy chief Jon Rudkin is delighted with the international recognition his young players are receiving.
While seven of Nigel Pearson's first-team squad have been away on international duty recently, a host of development and youth team squad players have also received national recognition.
"Darnell Johnson, Admiral Muskwe and Layton Ndukwu have been involved with the England Under-16s and 17s," Rudkin told the Leicester Mercury.
"There's a great challenge for those boys to be in the thoughts of the national team.
"There's been a number through the age groups being involved at 15 and 16 level, and I think that's all been a springboard set from Liam Moore, who has again recently been selected for England Under-21s.
"Then there is Conor Anderson, who has featured very strongly this season with Northern Ireland Under-18s. He's a young player who, despite his height of around 6ft 2in, is still growing and still maturing as a young defender."
