Bellinghams celebrate ‘beautiful story’ as Jobe joins Jude in Tuchel’s England 2.0

Thomas Tuchel has handed Jobe Bellingham his first England call-up for the upcoming Nations League fixtures against Croatia at Wembley on Thursday and Spain in Madrid three days later, admitting that Jobe's older brother Jude had repeatedly pushed him to select the Borussia Dortmund midfielder. Tuchel named a 25-man squad for the two matches, with only 11 of the 22 outfield players having featured at last summer's World Cup, signalling a significant generational shift in his England setup. The inclusion of both Bellingham brothers together marks a landmark family moment, with Tuchel acknowledging it would be 'beautiful for Jude to have his brother close.'
