Norwich midfielder Nathan Redmond has called on Town supporters to ignore domestic rivalries and get behind him during tonight’s England U21 international at Portman Road (KO 6pm, live on BT Sport). Gareth Southgate's side take on Lithuania in a Euro 2015 qualifier.
Redmond told the FA website: "You do get stick wherever you go with different clubs and their rivalries, but we’re playing for the nation at home.
"So hopefully I won’t get too much stick but I’ll have my head screwed on if selected to play. We’ve had some decent crowds with the U21s recently, so hopefully we’ll get a decent turn out at Ipswich.”
The 19-year-old, who joined the Canaries from Birmingham over the summer, believes Southgate has a strong group of players from which to pick his side: "You can just see the talent that we have in the squad in training, it’s healthy competition and we’re all mates on and off the pitch.
"It’s always good to come together and see the lads and the staff get together. It makes you wonder sometimes, if the players were all in one club side, it would be a very tough side to stay in.
"You can never underestimate the other lads and it is enjoyable in training so it’s nice to be a part of it as always.”
Meanwhile, Burnley striker Danny Ings has been ruled out of tonight's game with an ankle injury, but isn't expected to miss the Clarets' visit to Portman Road on Saturday.
Tickets for tonight's game cost £10 for adults and £5 for concessions and can be bought online from ITFC Direct, or at Planet Blue until 4.30pm when they will be available on the East of England Co-Op Stand turnstiles for cash at no additional cost.
