Major England boost for Newcastle United defender as Thomas Tuchel makes move

Newcastle United defender Dan Burn has earned a recall to the England national squad under manager Thomas Tuchel. Burn was brought into the setup for the upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures against Croatia and Spain after Manchester City defender Marc Guehi was forced to withdraw due to an injury.

Burn, who possesses 11 international caps, joined the rest of Tuchel's squad at Tottenham Hotspur's training ground on Monday. Guehi was substituted at half-time during Manchester City's match against Nottingham Forest on Saturday with a reported hip issue, opening the door for Burn's first national call-up since the summer.
