Leicester's Danny Drinkwater and Jamie Vardy focused on England

Following his first England call-up, Danny Drinkwater says that the fact Leicester have two players in the squad shows how well the club are doing.

Drinkwater's debut inclusion in Roy Hodgson's squad comes on the back of a number of consistently high level of performances for Leicester -- with the Foxes currently five points clear atop the Premier League table.

The former Manchester United youngster is now looking to follow in the footsteps of teammate Jamie Vardy for the friendly double-header against Germany and Netherlands.

"We have still got quite a bit to go in the season so the cake isn't really made yet,'' he said. "But we are getting there definitely. My concentration is with England and it will be until the games finish on Tuesday and then we'll focus back on Leicester.

"Everything back at Leicester is good. We left it in a good place but we focus on the Three Lions. It [having two Leicester players in the squad] is a good time for the club and reflects well on how we are doing this season. It is a good reflection on what the club is achieving right now.''

Drinkwater has starred in Leicester's midfield this season alongside summer signing N'Golo Kante -- who has also been rewarded with his maiden France call-up -- and is now ready to stake his claim for a place in the heart of Hodgson's England side.

"I have been given a small chance here to show what I am capable of and it is up to me to take it," he said. "If I do, I'll be hoping that if I can stake my claim for that position, then perfect.

"It is about doing your job, really, screening the defence. Obviously international football is going to be different, I understand that. Maybe as the ball turns over, you have look to keep it but I am looking forward to the challenge.

"I don't think England have been short of having a quality midfield but I guess having competition for places, it always helps push yourself in a way. It can only benefit us.''

Meanwhile, Vardy insists all thoughts of Leicester's Premier League title bid will be pushed from his mind until after the international break.

Vardy, 29, has scored 19 league goals this season, including a record-breaking run of netting in 11 successive Premier League games, and laid on six assists.

With captain Wayne Rooney injured, Vardy is likely to be vying with Harry Kane for a place in his preferred central attacking role when England face Germany in Berlin on Saturday and that is currently the only thing on his mind.

"It is not going to be harder to focus at all, that's what we are here to do,'' he said. "It is a period of two games with England and England is all the focus we can have. After next Tuesday has finished, it'll be 100 percent back on Leicester again.

"No matter where you are or what position in the league you are in, if you are picked by the gaffer to come and join the squad you are there for a reason, for what you have been doing on the pitch during the season.

"I have just got to keep doing that, keep knuckling down and keep working as hard as I can. We understand that people are going to ask about it when we are with our club because we are doing well at the top and they will keep asking.

"It is not a pressure or something we can get away from. It is just nice to have a week away to focus on England.''
