Jude’s brother Jobe Bellingham gets England call-up

Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jobe Bellingham has earned his first senior England call-up, according to the Football Association. The younger brother of England midfielder Jude Bellingham received the selection following form with Dortmund and the England under-21 side. Fulham attacking midfielder Josh King was also included in the squad for this month's Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain.

Chelsea's Cole Palmer was omitted from the squad, which Punch notes comes as Jobe Bellingham is named alongside his brother Jude. Business Recorder reports that Palmer was left out ahead of England's hosting of Croatia at Wembley and a trip to Madrid to face Spain. This follows a period where manager Thomas Tuchel questioned Palmer's availability due to various injury-enforced absences, including a withdrawal from the September camp. This season, Palmer has recorded five goals and three assists in 11 appearances for Chelsea.
