“England are going for young players and bringing them up through the Under-21s which is great for the future and the players now to get the experience of playing on the international stage.

Discussing Saturday’s fixture, Albrighton believes that the clash could be the start of an important month – with games against Huddersfield Town and Newcastle United also on the horizon.
“At this stage at lot of teams look at stages, get to the first and second international breaks, I think this second stage coming up will be crucial,” he added.

“We’ll do our best to do so and hopefully we can get some wins.”
