Mitrovic has 13 national caps for Serbia and has established himself as a major part of current set up. He grabbed his first goal for the senior side in a 11 home draw against Croatia in another World Cup qualifier, aged just 18. The 20-year-old was the top scorer of the Serbian national under-19 team in their successful qualifying campaign for the 2012 UEFA Under-19 Championship.

Jamie Vardy was preferred by Roy Hodgson who gave the Leicester attacker 15 minutes in the second half.
