Newcastle boss Howe backs Burn for England role at World Cup 

NEWCASTLE: Eddie Howe believes Newcastle United’s Dan Burn can step in to fill a Ben Chilwell-sized hole in the England World Cup squad for Qatar 2022.

Chelsea full-back Chilwell is the latest defensive casualty to hit England boss Gareth Southgate ahead of the trip to the Middle East later this month, following injuries to the likes of Kyle Walker and Reece James.
