Jobe Bellingham Joins England Squad for First Time
Jobe Bellingham has been named in Thomas Tuchel's England squad for the first time, joining his older brother Jude Bellingham. This announcement was made on Friday as the team prepares for Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain later in November.
Chelsea's Cole Palmer was omitted due to a lack of opportunities to impress at the international level, following an injury that caused him to withdraw from the previous squad. Jobe Bellingham's inclusion comes after a strong start to his second season at Borussia Dortmund, where Jude previously played for three seasons before transferring to Real Madrid.
Fulham's Josh King also received his first call-up, while Liverpool's 18-year-old winger Rio Ngumoha is included as well. England currently sits second in group A3, needing just one point to qualify for the knockout rounds in March.
Harry Kane is set to surpass Peter Shilton as England's most-capped male player.
