Burnley manager Sean Dyche has reassured Danny Ings that the door is still open to a senior England call-up if his rise to stardom continues . Ings has emerged as one of the most exciting young strikers in the country alongside Tottenham ’ s Harry Kane this season , and has been linked with moves to Liverpool and Manchester City when his contract at Burnley runs out in the summer . But while Kane was called up for the first time on Thursday when Roy Hodgson named his squad to face Lithuania and Italy at the end of the month , Ings had to be satisfied with a place in the Under-21 party . Burnley striker Danny Ings was left out of Roy Hodgson 's England squad despite his recent good form . Ings ' manager at club level , Sean Dyche , said he is sure Ings is in England 's thoughts and told him to push on . The young striker has become a big part of the England Under 21 set up and is in Gareth Southgate 's squad . ‘ I ’ m not surprised , ’ said Dyche . ‘ I ’ d like to think he ’ s in their thoughts and in and around their thinking . ‘ There are lots of other players out there doing well . Obviously the main one is Harry Kane . ‘ I would certainly promote them to continue monitoring him because I think he ’ s got a freshness to the way he plays and is different to a lot of centre-forwards who would be considered . ‘ We ’ ve enjoyed what he ’ s doing here and he ’ s definitely learning . That ’ s the big thing when you ’ re a young player , and particularly playing at this level . Are you getting used to it ? Are you learning ? Overall he has . ‘ There are no guarantees . It ’ s for Roy Hodgson and his staff to decide . As long as he keeps progressing , he ’ ll certainly always be in their thinking. ’ Ings ' contract at Turf Moor expires at the end of the season but Dyche wants him to push on for Burnley . The Clarets boss was not surprised to see Ings left out of the senior set-up considering the depth of forwards . Ings ’ s strike partner Sam Vokes has been recalled to the Wales squad for the first time in more than a year for their Euro 2016 qualifier against Israel , just a few days after making his first Premier League appearance for Burnley in last weekend ’ s surprise win over Manchester City . Vokes , 25 , missed the first five months of the season with a knee injury and Dyche admits the player is still getting back to his best . He added : ‘ I ’ m sure judging by how Sam operated last week that he ’ s well and truly on his way to full match fitness . I don ’ t expect it to happen overnight , it ’ s down to the game time we can give him when we think it ’ s appropriate . Hodgson opted for Harry Kane , Wayne Rooney , Daniel Sturridge and Danny Welbeck as his strikers . Ings and Kane ( right ) are key members of the side for Southgate ( left ) ahead of the European Championships . ‘ I spoke to Chris ( Coleman ) and let him know where he was at . I said it was touch and go whether he started ( against City ) , and I did start him . ‘ I still think there is more to come from him – that true match fitness that can only come from games – so we ’ ll try and be wise with that . ‘ It ’ s important with a player ’ s recovery to be given time . That has paid itself back with a reasonable , if not a good performance actually , last week . There is still more to come as he gets used to this level and the sharpness returns. ’ Sam Vokes has been named in Wales ' squad for their upcoming games after over a year out of the set-up . Vokes has been rewarded for his good form with Burnley , including playing in the win over Manchester City .
Roy Hodgson announced his latest England squad on Thursday afternoon . Danny Ings was not selected as one of four strikers , including Harry Kane . Burnley forward was instead picked in Gareth Southgate 's Under 21s . Sean Dyche says he believes that Ings is in England 's thoughts . - The FA Cup final will be played at Wembley Stadium next Saturday night between Arsenal and Aston Villa.
