Jobe Bellingham called up by England alongside brother Jude

Jobe Bellingham has earned his first call-up to the England senior squad under Thomas Tuchel, and will train alongside his brother Jude, according to TuttoMercatoWeb. The Borussia Dortmund midfielder, born in 2005, earned his place with strong displays for the Under-21s and his club, where he has three assists this season.

If he gets minutes in the upcoming Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain, the two brothers will become the 22nd brother pair to play for England. Jobe says having Jude there makes the call-up even more special for the family, and admits the feeling is hard to put into words.

Tuchel told him the news last week in a message that arrived while he was driving home from training. Jobe admits he thought he would stay with the Under-21s, and that Jude had suggested the coach take a look at his younger brother.
