Jobe Bellingham earns first England call-up

Jobe Bellingham has received his first senior England call-up, while Cole Palmer and Phil Foden have been left out of Thomas Tuchel's squad for the national team's final fixtures of 2026.

The 21-year-old Borussia Dortmund midfielder has been rewarded for his performances at club level and as captain of England's Under-21 side. He could now share the international stage with his older brother Jude, who is also included in the squad.

Josh King is another new addition, while Ben White and Jed Spence return to the group. Palmer and Foden are among the notable absentees as Tuchel makes changes ahead of two demanding fixtures.

England will host Croatia at Wembley before travelling to Madrid to face Spain, bringing their international programme for the year to a close.
