Leicester City defender Michael Keane has been called into the England Under-21 squad for their clash with Austria.
The 20-year-old has caught the eye of manager Stuart Pearce, and the young defender will join up with a side looking to continue their eight-game unbeaten run at Brighton's Amex Stadium on Monday night.
Keane has impressed since arriving at the King Power Stadium in November on loan from Manchester United.
After a hamstring injury on his debut ruled him out until January, the former England Under-19 international has shown why he is a star in the making.
Keane has made 17 appearances for City this season and has even started to find an eye for goal.
He has found the net three times in the last nine games, the latest being his 72nd-minute header in the 1-1 draw with league-leaders Cardiff.
Keane will join up with an impressive group of England players who have not conceded a goal, let alone been beaten, in 16 months.
The call-up comes as Wilfred Zaha (Crystal Palace), Henri Lansbury (Nottingham Forest) and Declan Rudd (Preston) return to their respective clubs.
Keane joins four other City stars currently on international duty in Andy King (Wales), Kasper Schmeichel (Denmark), Sean St Ledger (Republic of Ireland) and Chris Wood (New Zealand).
