The 25-year-old defender has put in brilliant efforts from his side, but these performances have been overshadowed by the dismal performance by Burnley, who sit second last in the standings with just one point.
Already having scored 2 goals this season, the defender also has made a third highest number of blocks in the league and has made more clearances than any other English player, according to Premier League Statistics. These statistics are way better than the current first-choice centre-backs, Maguire and Stones.
The performances put in by him need to be complemented by the other Burnley players too and it is only if they manage to keep clean sheets, that he may have a chance to be called up for international duty again.
