Ivan Toney has been called up to the England squad for the upcoming games against Italy and Germany.
Since January, Toney has scored 13 goals in the premier league.
The Manchester United forward is still feeling the effects of an injury he picked up in the win over Arsenal on September 4, when he scored two goals to take his season's tally to three.
After sitting out United's first game of the season, Marcus Rashford will not be available for the second game.
In 39 appearances for the Bees since the start of last season, Toney has scored 17 top-flight goals and registered six assists, including a 28-minute hat-trick in the win at home to Leeds on September 3.

He was courted by the Jamaican Football Federation last year in an attempt to convince him to switch his loyalties.
Despite his good start to the season, Jadon Sancho is not in the squad.
He has scored two goals in six appearances in the top flight this season, but hasn't played for England in over a year.
Eric Dier, who hasn't played for England since November 2020, has been recalled to the squad.
England will host Germany at 7.45pm on Monday September 26th.

It has been 83 years since a player from the Bees won a cap. Less than four months before the outbreak of World War Two, Les Smith made a substitute appearance for the Bees in a game against Romania. Only a few will remember the event.
It's likely to come to an end soon.
It's more than justified to include Toney, who was playing in League One just four years ago. He made it clear before he moved to west London that he could step up to the premier league. Many people didn't think the claim was true.
The Bees' first top-flight season since 1946/47 saw him lead the line admirably, with 17 goal involvements in 33 league appearances and he has started this campaign with an added spring in his step, with five goals from just six shots on target.
He's not afraid to get stuck on the other side of the field. He has tried six crosses and won 20 aerial challenges so far. There is a certain amount of sacrifice that goes into his game.
The most interesting thing about Toney's record is his penalty record. Since joining the club, he has taken 18 spot-kicks and scored every one of them. In March, Frank said he was the best penalty taker in the world.
"Toney has been called a penalty merchant and nothing more." He has had the last laugh many times before.

The personnel and structure of his defence will be one of the biggest concerns for the England coach. They played every minute of England's run to the Euro 2020 final. Having such a consistent team selection in a side that base their game around being solid down the centre of the pitch was a huge help for Southgate.
The area of the pitch is no longer strong.
Walker is in the latest squad but missed Manchester City's win over Dortmund with an injury, while Maguire and Shaw have both lost their first team places to new signings this season."
In the absence of Kyle Walker, Stone was moved out to right-back for the game against the Germans.
What does he do in the two crucial games before the World Cup? Is he going to stay loyal and use the opportunity to get 90 minutes into the legs of Maguire and Shaw, or is he going to try something new?
"Eric Dier has become an absolute mainstay of Antonio Conte's Spurs playing as the central figure in a back three." If Maguire is deemed too rusty to be relied upon at international level, the form of Fikayo Tomori andMarc Guehi can't be overlooked.
The England boss has a lot to think about. It's not ideal with a tournament that England are expected to win.
The kick-off is 1 pm.
The kick-off is 7pm on November 25.
The Wales game will be played at theAhmed bin Ali Stadium.
