    Despite being 5'10, the 18-year-old Arsenal talent is no stranger to the physical demands of top-flight football. However, standing next to Burn, who measures at 6'7, was a whole new experience. The Newcastle man towers over most players, and Lewis-Skelly was no exception when they crossed paths at St George’s Park.

    WHAT NEXT FOR LEWIS-SKELLY & BURN?

    While their initial meeting was filled with friendly banter, there is a chance that Lewis-Skelly and Burn could be competing for a place in England’s starting XI. The Arsenal youngster has thrived as a left-back this season, a position where England lack depth, making him a strong contender for the upcoming match against Albania on Friday. On the other hand, Burn has been primarily used as a centre-back this season but could be shifted to left-back by manager Thomas Tuchel if required.
