Burnley sacked manager Sean Dyche in mid-April, and since then have claimed ten points from a possible 12 to move up to 16th in the table.
Collins, who is seen as one of Ireland’s top young talents, was handed his first senior international start in March – earning man of the match in a 1-0 win over Lithuania at the Aviva Stadium.
The Leixlip native is included in the eight-strong list alongside Kevin De Bruyne (Man City), Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle United), Gabriel Jesus (Man City), Cristiano Ronaldo (Man United), Son Heung-min (Tottenham), Thiago Alcantara (Liverpool) and Leandro Trossard (Brighton).
