Thomas Tuchel has handed maiden England senior call-ups to Jobe Bellingham and Josh King after naming his 25-man squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain.
The two midfielders have earned their first senior call-ups following impressive performances at club level and with England’s youth teams.
Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jobe Bellingham, 21, will join his older brother Jude in the squad, giving the pair an opportunity to represent England together at senior level for the first time.
Jobe has impressed since joining Dortmund from Sunderland in 2025, establishing himself as an important member of the German side’s midfield.
His call-up marks another milestone in his career as he follows in the footsteps of Jude, who has become a key figure for England since making his senior debut in 2020.
Fulham midfielder Josh King, 19, is the other first-time inclusion. He has caught the eye with his performances at Craven Cottage and previously travelled with the senior squad to the United States for England’s pre-World Cup training camp.
Having progressed through England’s youth teams, King now has the opportunity to make his senior debut.
Both players will hope to feature when England host Croatia at Wembley on November 12 before travelling to Madrid to face Spain three days later.
Tuchel has also recalled Declan Rice and Djed Spence, who missed the previous camp through injury, while Ben White returns for the first time since March. However, Cole Palmer, Phil Foden and Kobbie Mainoo are among the notable absentees.
England sit second in their Nations League group and need to avoid defeat against Croatia to secure qualification for next year’s quarter-finals.
