Having scored 10 goals for the Clarets already this season as they set a surprise pace at the top of the Championship, Ings marked his full debut for the Under-21's with two goals against San Marino.
Boss Gareth Southgate said: “The runs that Danny makes across the face of defenders and the quality of his finishing is excellent and everything I have seen from him has been very positive.”
Ings has shown his quality against the Reds already this season, scoring two goals in a League Cup clash at Turf Moor in September.
