BURNLEY'S success in recent seasons is leading international managers to keep a close eye on their Turf Moor stars.

England boss Gareth Southgate is a regular at Turf Moor and although James Tarkowski has had to withdraw this time, the Clarets centre back has been included in four successive squads, while Tom Heaton, Michael Keane, Jack Cork and Nick Pope have also earned Three Lions recognition during Dyche's time at Burnley.

Matej Vydra is the latest Burnley player to earn an international call while at Turf Moor, with the striker back in the Czech Republic fold after a two-year absence, and if the £11million forward plays against Slovakia or Ukraine in the Nations League he will become the 14th member of the current squad to win an international cap while at Burnley.

Boss Sean Dyche believes that figure is recognition of the progress made at the club in recent years, with potential for the number to increase as well with Ashley Barnes still being linked with an Austria call-up.

"I think it has to be up there, it’s relative success, for Burnley to be seventh in the Premier League is a very successful thing for Burnley," said Dyche when asked if the international honours were a sign of progress.

"That brings recognition and the question of how they’ve done it. Gareth has been watching us a while, but there’s talk of Ashley Barnes and Austria, Vyds is back in the squad having been out of the scene for a while.

"It’s good in that respect, it’s a different kind of recognition."

During this international break Burnley will have Sam Vokes, Kevin Long, Jeff Hendrick, Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Matej Vydra away on senior international duty.

Pope, Jonathan Walters, Stephen Ward and Robbie Brady could have swelled that number if they weren't out injured, while Steven Defour has retired from international football and Chris Wood's New Zealand are without a game.

Heaton and Cork have dropped out of favour with England recently, while Joe Hart hasn't yet done enough to earn a recall despite impressive form for the Clarets.

But Southgate is still keeping an eye on Burnley's England contingent and Dyche puts the credit for that at the feet of the players.

"If any club is doing well and you've got a lot of English players then you’re likely to go and watch them because you’ll see more than one player," he said.

"I think it’s a credit to the players that other international managers do keep an eye on our players.

"That must mean the club are doing something right to get those players to be recognised by those different international camps.

"If you’re an international manager you gravitate towards success. If we’re successful and we’ve got five English players then Gareth is probably thinking ‘hang on a minute, let’s go and see them’.

"I imagine there’s a bit of common sense in it, the numbers game."
