” The manager told us (the 55-man shortlist) on Tuesday that there were discussions about who would make the final squad and the decision would be made on Thursday, ” Burn said.
” It was six o’clock on Thursday and I hadn’t heard anything yet, so I told my wife that nothing was going to happen,”
“Then I got a text saying, ‘Are you sleeping yet?’ at around 10pm. I immediately replied, ‘Not yet.'”
“I got the Facetime call and it was great news. I couldn’t sleep that night. First of all, Tuchel said I was unprofessional for not sleeping at 10pm! So I apologized to him. ” ( sakidbet )
