Robinson played 85 minutes as his side claimed a point in a 0-0 draw against second placed, England U21s, last Friday.

He started again on Tuesday night, playing 45 minutes in a 2-1 defeat to group leaders Ukraine U21s.

Northern Ireland finished in fifth place in Group F in the UEFA Under-21 European Championship qualifiers.
