DAN BURN is set to be named in his first-ever England squad at the age of 32.
Thomas Tuchel names his maiden Three Lions squad on Friday morning.
And the in-form Newcastle defender is set to be named part of the German’s group for the World Cup qualifying matches against Albania and Latvia, according to the Mail.
Burn has been a key man in Eddie Howe’s Toon machine which is gunning for a top-four spot and a Carabao Cup trophy.
The defender – who can play in the middle or on the left – is expecting to play against Liverpool at Wembley as the Magpies aim to end a 70-year major trophy drought.
Tuchel watched Burn in Newcastle’s 1-0 win over West Ham at the London Stadium on Monday.
