Tuchel calls up both Bellingham brothers for England
Jobe, of Dortmund, joins Jude, of Real Madrid, in the squad for Nations League games against Croatia on 12 November and Spain on 15 November.
Thomas Tuchel has named both Bellingham brothers in the England squad for the first time. Jobe Bellingham, 21, of Borussia Dortmund, has so far played only for England's youth teams, while his older brother Jude Bellingham, of Real Madrid, has 60 senior caps. If both play in the Nations League games, they would be the first brothers to appear together for England since Gary and Phil Neville.
The matches are against Croatia in London on 12 November and Spain in Madrid on 15 November. According to Sportschau, Tuchel praised Jobe for settling into his role at Dortmund and said he deserves the chance to show what he can do. Dortmund coach Niko Kovac was delighted, describing Jobe as a complete football fanatic who is always the first to arrive at training and the last to leave.
Harry Kane leads the squad on 125 caps, level with Peter Shilton. If he plays in the next match, he will become England's record appearance maker with 126. Chelsea's Cole Palmer is left out again, which is causing debate in England. Fulham's Josh King also makes his first senior squad.
