Spurs prospect Alex Pritchard delighted with England U21 chance

Tottenham midfielder Alex Pritchard is delighted to be part of England's U21 squad.

The Brentford midfielder, on a season-long loan from Tottenham, made his debut as a substitute against Lithuania and also featured in England's final Euro 2015 qualifier in Moldova.

Although Pritchard played for a total of just 14 minutes, he missed the usual chance to switch off during the international break and said: "It was a great experience but it took it out of me and I thought I was a bit leggy at the weekend. However, I was back to my standard against Norwich and I will learn from it."
