Nick Pope is ready to battle for an England place, even if he acknowledges that soon he may no longer be guaranteed a start with club side Burnley.
The 25-year-old has benefited from Tom Heaton's injury this season at Turf Moor, playing regularly in the Premier League for Sean Dyche's men and impressing enough to earn a first international call-up for this month's friendlies against Netherlands and Italy.
Pope is one of four goalkeepers in the England squad and hopes to have an opportunity, but he knows he must perform for club and country if he is to hold off competition from returning Three Lions international Heaton, with the World Cup just three months away.
