A message in his car, a brother’s recommendation and a Dortmund rise: how Jobe Bellingham’s England dream could now end with a historic family moment with Jude this week.
Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jobe Bellingham has expressed excitement about the chance to make his England senior debut alongside his brother Jude. England manager Thomas Tuchel handed the 21-year-old his first senior national call-up ahead of upcoming Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain. If Jobe features, the pair will become the 22nd set of brothers to play for England, and the first since Gary and Phil Neville 19 years ago.
Jobe Bellingham revealed that Tuchel messaged him directly to inform him of the call-up following a recommendation from Jude. Both brothers developed through Birmingham City's academy before eventually moving to Borussia Dortmund. Jude now stars for Real Madrid, while Jobe joined Dortmund after helping Sunderland earn promotion to the Premier League.
