Burnley midfielder Jack Cork not thinking about World Cup squad

Burnley midfielder Jack Cork insists he's ignoring World Cup rumours.

England international Cork, who has played every minute for the Clarets in the top flight this season, is keeping his mind focused on club matters for now.

“I don't think I can think that far (ahead)," he said.

“I've had one call up and three minutes of playing, I was just grateful to Gareth Southgate for giving me that opportunity.

“Anything more for me would be a bonus. We were playing well and doing well as a team, the form was good and we were working hard and I managed to get a call with injuries.

“If we can keep the form going and I can keep playing well and the team can keep doing well then hopefully there will be another spot for me at some stage and maybe a couple more Burnley players."
