England squad: Northumberland stars to represent England as Newcastle United trio called-up to World Cup

England head to USA, Mexico and Canada among the pre-tournament favourites to win their first World Cup since 1966 - and Northumberland’s Dan Burn is among those vying for glory with the Three Lions.

Burn earned his maiden call-up to the England squad in March 2025, just days before helping end Newcastle United’s long wait for a major trophy in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley.

Burn has since become a regular part of Tuchel’s squads since being handed his first cap against Albania and will now head to his first-ever senior international tournament.

Burn will play alongside Elliot Anderson in North America, with big hopes that the Whitley Bay born midfielder can play a starring role in Tuchel’s midfield.

Anderson has impressed throughout his time in the England set up and will head into the tournament on the back of another impressive season with Nottingham Forest at club level.

Burn and Anderson, though, are not the only two players that will pique the interest of Newcastle United fans this summer.

Anthony Gordon and Tino Livramento, both of whom have been extensively linked with moves away from the club, have also been called up by Tuchel.

Former Magpies striker Ivan Toney has also been included in the England squad. Toney currently plays in Saudi Arabia.

There have been some surprising omissions from the squad, though, with Lewis Hall and Harry Maguire both missing out on the final 26-man shortlist - despite solid seasons at St James’ Park and Old Trafford respectively.

Jordan Henderson and Jordan Pickford, both of whom came through the academy system at Sunderland before moving to Merseyside early in their respective careers, will also represent the Three Lions this summer.
