A surprising selection is going to be made for Thomas Tuchel’s first England squad, and it will include a player who has never been capped before.
As a result of his replacement of Gareth Southgate, Tuchel will announce his first England squad decision on Friday.
As he prepares to name his squad for England’s World Cup qualifiers, he has watched a number of Premier League matches up and down the country. In the process, he has compiled a short list of fifty-five players.
Both of the Three Lions’ matches are scheduled to take place at Wembley Stadium; the first match will be against Latvia on March 24, and the second match will be against Albania on March 21.
It has been speculated that Dan Burn will receive his first England call-up as a member of Tuchel’s first squad, and this speculation comes ahead of the announcement that will take place on Friday.
The German manager ‘has been taken by the versatility’ of the Newcastle United player, according to the Daily Mail, which reports that this is the case.
This is the first time that he has ever been called up to the senior selection for England.
During the current season, Burn has been a standout for Eddie Howe. He is capable of playing both left-sided centre back and left-back positions.
The towering defender was being observed by Tuchel during Newcastle’s victory over West Ham United by a score of 1-0 on Monday.
During the entirety of the league match that took place at the London Stadium, he started the game behind the centre back position.
As a result of the season-ending injury sustained by Burn’s teammate Lewis Hall, who sustained a foot injury while playing against Liverpool, Burn now has the opportunity to be called up for immediate action.
During the current season, Burn has participated in a total of 35 matches across all competitions, playing in 27 league games.
It will be his final game before the international break, and he is scheduled to play for The Magpies in the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool on Sunday at Wembley Stadium. This will be his final game before the break.
In January of 2022, the 32-year-old player made the move from Brighton to the St. James’ Park club for a reported sum of thirteen million pounds.
Since his transfer to Newcastle, Burn, who is originally from Blyth, has participated in 138 matches for the club.
