Thomas Tuchel Gives Jobe Bellingham First England Call-Up for Croatia, Spain Fixtures

Thomas Tuchel gave first senior call-ups to Jobe Bellingham and Josh King while leaving out Cole Palmer and Phil Foden.

  • England coach Thomas Tuchel named his squad on Friday for Nations League fixtures against Croatia and Spain, featuring Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jobe Bellingham's first senior call-up alongside his older brother, Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham.
  • Chelsea playmaker Cole Palmer was omitted from the 25-man squad despite strong club form, following Tuchel's previous criticism that Palmer misses too many international camps with injuries.
  • Fulham midfielder Josh King earned his maiden senior selection, while Arsenal pair Declan Rice and Ben White returned to the setup for the upcoming international window.
  • England host Croatia on November 12 and visit Spain on November 15, needing only one point from either fixture to secure their place in the Nations League quarter-finals.
  • The squad convenes early next week to prepare for the final group matches as Tuchel continues to balance established stars like England captain Harry Kane with emerging prospects.
