James Milner admits he was delighted to be involved in the England squad last week.
The Aston Villa winger said: "It has been good getting called up and training with the senior lads and I feel more part of it now.
"I definitely have a bit more confidence and they were two great performances from the boys in their last two games. Those are two good experiences that will stand me in good stead especially with the Under-21 tournament just days away."
