Burnley manager Sean Dyche has been delighted with the development of Nick Pope.

The goalkeeper has gone from non-league loanee to England international during his time with the Clarets.

After making his second Three Lions appearance against Kosovo this week, Dyche was pleased for the 27-year-old.

"I'm pleased for him," said Dyche. "It was a dominant night (in Kosovo), but the one thing I know from being a defender, let alone being a goalkeeper, is that it's lovely when you're playing and you get a clean sheet.

"He'll be very pleased with that, regardless of whether he had a relatively quiet evening or not.

"And just the feeling of being out there and playing and being part of it. He's enjoyed the experience. He's come through a serious injury and keeps delivering performances and I think he continues to improve, as well."
