Bellingham brothers' England link-up would be 'emotional' for Jobe

Jobe Bellingham says an England link-up with his brother Jude would be "emotional".

The younger Bellingham brother was a surprise call-up for Thomas Tuchel's England squad for the Three Lions' upcoming Nations League fixtures against Croatia and Spain.

Jobe played a key role in Sunderland's promotion to the Premier League in 2025, but then followed in Jude's footsteps by joining Borussia Dortmund.

He played 45 games for BVB last term, making 29 starts and providing three assists. This season, Jobe has made 15 appearances for Dortmund, recording three assists, though the 21-year-old is yet to score for the Bundesliga giants.

However, Jobe is now on the verge of his first senior England cap, meaning the Bellingham siblings would join the list of brothers to play for the Three Lions.

The last occasion came when Trevoh Chalobah followed on from his brother Nathaniel (2018) in earning an England cap last year. The last brothers to play at the same time for England, though, were Gary and Phil Neville.

"I can't ignore it, but obviously with Jude being here too, it's a great, great feeling for the family," Jobe said on the Football Association's England app.

"It's quite special, to be honest. It's such a huge bonus on top of something that's already so special and so great.

"To be called up for England is a dream itself and I've been so proud to have the opportunity to represent England at every age group. I always enjoyed coming away with England, I love competing against top players at whichever age group.

"But to have that chance of an opportunity to represent England with my brother, it's really hard to put into words.

"I don't have the words, really. I think it's only emotion that could describe it, and, hopefully, if that time does come, you'll see a lot of emotion from people, and definitely from my family."

The Bellinghams would become the 22nd sets of brothers to feature for England.
