There will be two Bellinghams in the England squad. ESPN reports that Thomas Tuchel has named 25 players for the Nations League games against Croatia and Spain, including a first senior call up for Jobe Bellingham

Jobe, 21, plays for Borussia Dortmund and has 12 Under 21 caps. He joins his older brother Jude in the squad

Declan Rice returns, Ben White is back for the first time since March, and Djed Spence is recalled. Fulham's Josh King and Morgan Gibbs-White are also included

Cole Palmer, Bukayo Saka, Noni Madueke and Kobbie Mainoo are left out, with Saka injured and Lewis-Skelly suspended for the Croatia game. Tuchel said there was a slight issue in central midfield and that it was the moment to push the standout players from the Under 21s

Two brothers in the same England squad is a lovely story, and Jobe has earned it with his form in Germany. Palmer's omission will spark plenty of debate given his talent. Giving young players a chance in the Nations League is a sensible approach

Should Cole Palmer be in the squad? And could Jobe and Jude play together for England?


Kane

I'm looking forward to him playing on Sunday against Spain

Lowkey

Ben White back after so long is interesting. His falling out with the previous setup was well known. Tuchel seems willing to start fresh. That helps the squad
VAR can do one

Anthony

Josh King getting a call up is a nice surprise. Fulham have developed him well

Young English midfielders are in demand. Good for him
