Meanwhile Burey – who is now facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a hamstring injury – has been nominated alongside Bradford City striker Andy Cook, Tranmere Rovers goalkeeper Joe Murphy and Forest Green striker Matt Stevens.
Burey had made a stunning start to life on loan from Millwall with an assist off the bench on his debut before starting and scoring in three consecutive League Two matches against Barrow, Walsall and Carlisle United.
Explaining Burey’s nomination, the EFL stated: “A natural winger, the 20-year-old has impressed up front by closing down defenders and holding the ball.
