- Jobe Bellingham, 21, has earned his first senior England call-up alongside his older brother, Jude, for the upcoming Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain.
- Manager Thomas Tuchel selected the Borussia Dortmund midfielder due to “a slight issue in central midfield” with injuries and suspensions causing a shortage, but acknowledged that Bellingham has been in good form for Borussia Dortmund.
- Bellingham began his senior career at Birmingham City before moving to Sunderland in 2023 and would go on to emulate his older brother, winning the EFL Young Player of the Year award in 2025.
- Once again following in Jude’s footsteps, Jobe secured a transfer to Borussia Dortmund for £31 million last summer; it was the club’s second-most expensive signing in their history.
- The youngster has one goal and seven assists in 61 appearances from midfield for Dortmund.
