Jude Bellingham and his younger brother Jobe Bellingham have both been called up to the England national team, marking a rare family milestone in international football. The brothers could become the first siblings to play together for England since Gary and Phil Neville represented the Three Lions together 19 years ago.
The call-up represents what has been described as an "incredible achievement for the family" as both midfielders earn recognition for their club form. Jude Bellingham, 23, has established himself as a key player for Real Madrid and England since his breakthrough at Birmingham City and subsequent move to Borussia Dortmund. Jobe Bellingham, 19, has been developing his career at Sunderland in the Championship after following a similar path through Birmingham's academy.
If both brothers feature in the same match, they would join an exclusive list of siblings to have played together for England. The Neville brothers, Gary and Phil, were the last to achieve this feat, with their final joint appearance coming in 2007. Other notable brother pairings in England's history include Bobby and Jack Charlton, who won the 1966 World Cup together.
The England squad announcement comes ahead of upcoming international fixtures, with manager Thomas Tuchel selecting both players for the camp. Their inclusion highlights the depth of midfield talent available to the national team and continues the Bellingham family's remarkable rise in professional football.
