Jobe Bellingham<\/a> has earned his first senior call-up for the England<\/a> national team ahead of the November international break.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Three Lions are on the brink of qualifying for the Nations League quarter-finals ahead of their games against Croatia<\/a> and Spain<\/a>. England only need to avoid losing to Croatia by more than seven goals to secure their spot. But two wins would see the Three Lions top Group A3 — providing they beat Spain by more than one goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Thomas Tuchel<\/a> has named his squad for the final international break of the year, with some big calls. Cole Palmer<\/a> and Phil Foden<\/a> have both missed out, while Josh King<\/a> and Jobe Bellingham have been called up for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of eyes will be on Jobe, not least because of the standing Jude Bellingham<\/a> has in this England team. But Jobe has been called up on his own performances, and this is a chance for him to be more than just “Jude’s brother”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
