Luton boss Rob Edwards was overjoyed with Teden Mengi getting an England Under-21 cap.

He featured in the Young Lions' 7-0 win over Luxembourg's Under-21s on Tuesday night.

Mengi, a former Manchester United youth product, has been outstanding for the newly promoted team this season.

Edwards told reporters: “T came back, it was just a bit of knee soreness, a bit of treatment here and we were confident with him going back.

“Lee Carsley was really good, had some open dialogue, kept it open for Teden.

“Teden was desperate to go and represent his country which I think is brilliant and we're really keen for all the lads to do that.

“We're really proud of him, he got his 21s debut which was excellent and some positive bits of news in the international break.

“I think he's one of nine English center backs playing in the Premier League at the moment, that's what Cars told me, so it's pretty good isn't it?

“He needs a big pat on the back for that, keep his head down, keep working hard, which he will do, stay focused, which he will do. I think everyone's got really high hopes for T haven't they?"
