Jobe Bellingham has received his first senior England call-up this month, linking up with older brother Jude under Thomas Tuchel. The 21-year-old midfielder has established himself in England's youth setup and captained the U-21 side before earning promotion. His strong start at Borussia Dortmund, where he has featured in all eight league matches, prompted the selection.
A debut for Jobe against Croatia or Spain in this month's Nations League fixtures would make the Bellinghams part of an exclusive club. Only three sets of brothers have represented England at senior level since World War II, following 21 different families historically. The most recent pairing were Nathaniel Chalobah, who played once in 2018, and Trevoh Chalobah, who became a senior international in 2025.
England's most celebrated brother act remains Jack and Bobby Charlton, both World Cup winners in 1966. Gary and Phil Neville hold the record for combined appearances, accumulating 144 caps between them during their overlapping careers in the 1990s and 2000s.
