Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope hopes to make his England debut prior to the World Cup after being an unused sub in the recent friendlies with the Netherlands and Italy.

Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope has admitted that he is hungry to make his senior debut for England after being given "a little taster" with his recent call-up.

The 26-year-old, who has taken advantage of a long-term injury to teammate Tom Heaton, was included in the Three Lions' squad for the spring friendlies against the Netherlands and Italy.

Pope has yet to get on the field for his national side, but he is hoping that changes with the World Cup now a little over a month away.

"It's a whole new level and a different way of doing things. To experience it, hopefully it's a little taster for the future," he told Sky Sports News. "It's great to have positive words said about you.

"I have got great fans at Burnley that have been behind me and the whole team the whole season. It's nice to have them on your side and in football it's not always that way. I have had clubs before where it's not always as positive, so when the positive times do come along, you've got to take it."

Pope has kept 10 clean sheets in 31 Premier League outings.
