Sunderland midfielder Jobe Bellingham has received his first senior call-up to the England national team, the Football Association announced Friday. The 19-year-old younger brother of Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham has impressed in the Championship this season, earning recognition from interim manager Lee Carsley.
Meanwhile, Chelsea forward Cole Palmer misses out on the squad despite his strong start to the Premier League campaign. The 22-year-old has been a regular for England since his debut last year but has been omitted from the latest selection for upcoming Nations League fixtures.
The squad will prepare for matches against Greece and the Republic of Ireland later this month. Bellingham's inclusion continues a remarkable rise for the teenager, who joined Sunderland from Birmingham City in 2024 and has become a key player in their push for promotion.
