Sunderland midfielder Jobe Bellingham has received his first senior England call-up, setting up a historic family reunion with older brother Jude in the national team setup. The 19-year-old will link up with the Real Madrid star for the first time at international level, according to an AFP report on November 6, 2026.
Jobe Bellingham has impressed in the Championship this season, establishing himself as a key player for Sunderland. His selection marks a rapid rise for the teenager, who has previously represented England at youth levels. The call-up means the Bellingham brothers could become the first siblings to play together for England's senior men's team since Gary and Phil Neville.
England's coaching staff will be keen to assess how the brothers' natural understanding translates to the international stage as they prepare for upcoming fixtures. Jude Bellingham, 23, has been a mainstay in the England midfield since his debut in 2020 and has earned over 30 caps.
