Jobe Bellingham earns first England call-up as Tuchel names November Nations League squad

England manager Thomas Tuchel named his squad for the November 2026 UEFA Nations League matches against Spain in Madrid and Croatia at Wembley, with Jobe Bellingham handed his first senior call-up and Cole Palmer once again omitted.

Jobe Bellingham, 21, has been rewarded for strong club performances at Borussia Dortmund, including man-of-the-match displays in the Champions League. He captained England's under-21s and excelled in the most recent camp, which was described as crucial to his senior call-up. The squad announcement also notes Jude Bellingham's recent World Cup form and standing within the national team. Tuchel's selection covers England's final UEFA Nations League fixtures of 2026.

The squad includes forward Josh King and records the returns of Djed Spence and Ben White. Phil Foden is not part of the selection. Cole Palmer was left out of the squad again.

The Bellingham call-up raises the prospect of brothers featuring together for England: the Bellinghams may be the first brothers to play for the same England squad since the Nevilles. Jobe's promotion follows his club and youth international roles cited in the announcement.

Tuchel's group will meet for the November international break to contest the Nations League fixtures in Madrid and at Wembley. The matches constitute England's final Nations League outings of 2026 and will be the immediate focus for the selected players.
