Wilson is with the national squad for the first time as a Leeds United player.
With his Fulham contract up, Wilson signed for the Yorkshire club on a free transfer in July, joining fellow countrymen Joe Rodon, Ethan Amapdu, Daniel James and Jayden Lienou at Elland Road.
After a spectacular final season at Fulham, during which he was a first-team regular and scored 11 club goals, Wilson has had to be patient at Leeds.
He has made only three Premier League starts so far Leeds – as well as five substitute appearances – and is yet to score for his new club, who are currently ninth in the top flight.
“When I wasn’t in the team, the team was doing well,” Wilson said.
“I’m an honest player and I understand when I’ve been in starting XIs, and in teams where I’m doing well, I don’t want to be dropped.
“But more recently, wins have started to be a little bit more difficult to come by and I’ve started a few more games. I think that’s how football is.
“I’m a player that wants to play every game, but ultimately it’s the manager’s decision and the players who do play have to perform to stay in the team.”
