Dan Burn criticized for staying up late before call-up
England manager Thomas Tuchel jokingly called Dan Burn "unprofessional" after he informed the defender about his first call-up to the national team. Burn recently helped Newcastle United win the Carabao Cup and scored in their final against Liverpool. The 32-year-old defender has had a strong season and can play both left-back and center-back. Tuchel reached out to Burn late at night to deliver the news about his inclusion in the team for upcoming matches against Albania and Latvia. During a press conference, Burn recounted how he initially thought he wouldn’t be selected. He laughed while describing Tuchel's message about being unprofessional for staying up past 10 PM. Burn is aiming for a solid spot in the England squad, especially with injuries affecting key players like Harry Maguire and John Stones. He expressed that he wants to contribute and play at the international level, not just be a supportive presence on the team.
