Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jobe Bellingham has received his first senior England call-up, joining his older brother Jude in the national team squad.

England manager Thomas Tuchel named him in his 25-man squad on Friday ahead of the team’s UEFA Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain later this month.

Fulham midfielder Josh King also earned his first senior call-up, while Chelsea forward Cole Palmer was left out of the squad.

Jobe’s selection follows his impressive performances for Borussia Dortmund and England’s Under-21 team, where he recently served as captain.

The midfielder is now set to play alongside his brother Jude, who represents Real Madrid, in the senior England squad for the first time.

Tuchel’s side will host Croatia on November 12 before travelling to Madrid to face Spain on November 15.

England currently sit second in their Nations League group and need just one point from their remaining fixtures to secure a place in the quarter-finals.
