Bertrand has two England caps to his name but even after some impressive performances in a Southampton shirt this season, he has yet to add to his tally.

And the Southampton left-back was overlooked for a place in the national team after Danny Rose was called up to replace injured Luke Shaw ahead of England's matches against Lithuania and Italy.

Dutchamn Koeman says that if his glittering left-back continues to perform to a high standard, his call will come to don an England shirt again. 

"It’s always up to the national coach but I said to Ryan keep going and if you play on that level what he showed that goal will come," said Koeman. 

"When? Nobody knows that. For the player the most important is keep going, keep playing on a good level and that moment will come."
