Tottenham midfielder Alex Pritchard is ready to battle Premier League stars for a place in England's U21 Euros squad.
Some of England's first-team players could be drafted into the age-group squad for next year's tournament but Pritchard, who is on loan with Brentford, is not deterred by the increased competition.
"It [the involvement of first-team players] shouldn't concern anyone," said the midfielder. "They're just names, they're still footballers.
"If you work hard then you don't know what's going to happen.
"You've just got to keep playing and hopefully get in the squad."
