Receiving a senior international call-up before making your first-team debut is the marker of a big talent, and that is the case for Liverpool’s Conor Bradley.
It is a strange phenomenon, one enjoyed by Javier Mascherano, who made his breakthrough with Argentina in 2003 before playing a single minute for River Plate.
With more managers showing faith in youth and some taking drastic measures to freshen up their squads, it could be seen more frequently, particularly for those with a smaller talent pool.
That is the case for Northern Ireland boss Ian Baraclough, who has named Bradley among an uncapped trio for their upcoming clashes with Malta (May 30) and Ukraine (June 3).

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks set to prioritise Man United‘s meeting with Liverpool over the visit of Leicester on Tuesday, admitting that he could turn to his youngsters.
The United manager has been faced with a conundrum following the postponement of the Reds’ trip to Old Trafford a week ago, finding himself in the middle of a run of five games in eight days.
Two of those could have major ramifications on the top-four race, with Leicester to come on Tuesday before Liverpool’s belated arrival in Manchester on Thursday.
Understandably, Solskjaer is planning to rotate between fixtures, and after fielding a full-strength side for Sunday’s 3-1 win at Aston Villa, he expects to ring the changes against Leicester.
