Mepham pulled out of last month's high-profile friendly against Spain and the Nations League tie with the Republic of Ireland after picking up a knock in training.

He has played four times for the Bees since the last international break.

Mepham, 20, has impressed since making his international debut at the China Cup in March.

The London-born centre-back started both Nations League games against the Republic and Denmark in September.
