The final whistle has only just blown on the football season.
And England player Andy Carroll wasted no time in whisking his reality TV star girlfriend Billi Mucklow away on holiday on a post-season break.
The footballer posted a picture on his Instagram page with Billi, stating they were 'Dubai bound' - however, the striker is said to have missed a call from the England manager Roy Hodgson telling him he's on standby ahead of next month's World Cup as a result.

Match made in heaven: Billi took to Twitter on Sunday to reveal she was on her way to Manchester to watch Carroll play his final game of the season against Manchester City
Sportsmail understands the England boss attempted to contact Carroll after his final game of the season for West Ham against Manchester City on Sunday, but it seemed the beanpole forward was already jetting off on his holidays with the former TOWIE beauty.
Carroll looks set to miss out on England's main 23-man squad for the World Cup in Brazil over the summer, but he is reportedly expected to be chosen as one of seven standby players.
Billi took to Twitter on Sunday to reveal she was on her way to Manchester to watch Carroll play his final game of the season against Manchester City.

Off you go: Carroll played his last football match of the season for West Ham on Sunday but was subbed off on the 72nd minute
She tweeted: 'On route to Manchester can't wait to see my boy! (sic)'
But she wouldn't have had much cheering to do as the Londoners were comfortably dispatch 2-0 in the game, which resulted in City winning the Premier League title.
While Billi would've been her boyfriend in action for 72 minutes of the game, there was very little to cheer as his side managed just three shots in the 90-minte game.

And to add insult to injury, the east London club didn't manage to get one of their three shots on target.
Billi and Carroll – who has previously been convicted of common assault in a nightclub - have been dating for around five months and she recently insisted to 'people have the wrong idea' about the footballer.
Last month, the 25-year-old told The Sun newspaper: 'People have got the wrong idea about Andy and it does annoy me because it is just such bulls**t.'
