Thomas Tuchel's first act was to jokingly tell off Dan Burn for a 'very unprofessional' behaviour as he spilled his England call-up news, the Newcastle star has said.
The England manager popped up on FaceTime at 10pm on Thursday night to tell Burn that he had made his first-ever England squad.
Burn, 32 is hoping to earn his first cap in the World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia after a circuitous route via Asda and non-league led to his scoring in Toon's Carabao Cup win on Sunday.
Tuchel initially longlisted 55 players and told Burn on Tuesday last week that he could still be excluded, leaving him with a nail-biting wait.
