Danny Rose has revealed how Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino gave him a wind-up before confirming his England selection.
The left-back was selected in Roy Hodgson's squad for games against Norway and Switzerland and first heard the news from Tottenham boss Pochettino on Wednesday.
"He called me into his office and said, 'we have accepted a bid and we are selling you!'" said Rose.
"I did not believe him but one of the other coaches walked in and said the same thing. Then the manager told me he had heard I might have a chance of being selected and later that night the England manager called me and he verified it.
"He said left-back is one of England's strongest positions, with Leighton Baines, Luke Shaw, Kieran Gibbs and Ryan Bertrand, so I've been a bit unlucky. I did not expect a call-up if I am honest so I am over the moon."
