Aston Villa goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo proud of first Finland call

Aston Villa goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo is proud of his first Finland call.

The 20 year-old is currently on-loan with Burton Albion.

“I was surprised in a way, but it was definitely one of the happiest days of my life to get the call-up," Sinisalo told the Villa website, with Finland in Nations League action later against Romania.

“I'm very honoured and proud to be getting that – not many do. It's a proud moment for myself and my family, it's just brilliant.

“I can't put into words how hard I've been working towards it and for it to come at the age of 20 is brilliant."
