Borussia Dortmund manager Niko Kovač has praised Jobe Bellingham after the 19-year-old midfielder received his first senior call-up to the England national team. Kovač stated that the youngster has "fully deserved" the recognition following his impressive performances at club level.
Bellingham, the younger brother of England star Jude Bellingham, has been a regular starter for Dortmund this season, contributing goals and assists in the Bundesliga and Champions League. His call-up comes ahead of England's upcoming Nations League fixtures.
The England squad, announced on November 6, 2026, includes Bellingham for the first time, marking a significant milestone in his developing career.
