England head coach Thomas Tuchel described the Bellingham brothers' story as "incredible" after Jobe Bellingham received his first senior call-up to join older brother Jude in the national squad.

Tuchel spoke to media at Wembley Stadium on Friday ahead of England's UEFA Nations League match against Croatia. The call-up marks the first time the siblings have been selected together for the senior team.

Jude Bellingham, 23, has been a regular for England since his debut in 2020. Jobe Bellingham, 19, plays for Sunderland in the Championship and has represented England at youth levels.

The Nations League fixture against Croatia is scheduled for November 2026 at Wembley.
