Dream comes true: The Bellingham brothers unite for England
Jobe Bellingham has been called up to the senior England squad for the first time and may team up with his brother Jude on Thursday against Croatia in the Nations League. The two were seen training together, and if they play, they will be the first pair of brothers since Gary and Phil Neville in 2007.
A touching family moment is on the verge of history: England will host Croatia on Thursday in the Nations League, but the spotlight is on two brothers - Jude Bellingham and his younger brother Jobe, who was called up to the senior squad for the first time by manager Thomas Tuchel. The two were seen training together yesterday and may play together for the national team for the first time. Jobe, a Borussia Dortmund player, has followed in the footsteps of his older brother who starred at the club before moving to Real Madrid. Tuchel explained: "He has found his rhythm at Dortmund, started the season excellently and become a regular starter." Jobe said of the moment he received the news: "I was so excited I couldn't stop smiling." If they play together, they will be the first pair of brothers to play for the senior national team since Gary and Phil Neville in 2007.
