The 26-year-old has been rewarded for some impressive performances so far this season by being named in Gareth Southgate's 28-man squad. He will link up with the squad on Monday.

Dunk was called up to the Three Lions squad last month for the Nations League games with Croatia and Spain as a replacement for James Tarkowski but was an unused substitute in both matches.
