Jude Bellingham and his younger brother Jobe have shared the England training pitch for the first time following the younger midfielder’s senior international call-up, marking a significant moment for the Bellingham family ahead of England’s UEFA Nations League encounter with Croatia.

The brothers were pictured training together on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, as Thomas Tuchel’s squad continued preparations for Thursday’s match at Wembley Stadium. Footage published by Sky Sports on November 11 shows the two midfielders participating in England’s training session.

According to the Football Association (FA), Jobe received his first senior England call-up ahead of the November international fixtures against Croatia and Spain. The 21-year-old Borussia Dortmund midfielder joins his older brother Jude, who has already established himself as a regular member of the national team.

Jobe’s selection follows his performances for Borussia Dortmund and his contributions to England’s Under-21 side, where he previously served as captain.

Speaking in an interview published on England Football’s official website on November 10, Jobe described the opportunity to represent England alongside his brother as particularly special.

He said having Jude in the same squad was a great feeling for their family, adding that playing together for the national team would be difficult to put into words.

England head coach Thomas Tuchel has also praised Jobe’s development, explaining that his inclusion was earned through his performances rather than his family connection.

The two brothers have followed similar career paths, having both progressed through Birmingham City before spells at Borussia Dortmund. Jude subsequently moved to Real Madrid, while Jobe joined Dortmund in 2025 after playing for Sunderland.

England face Croatia at Wembley on Thursday, November 12, before travelling to Spain for their final Nations League group-stage fixture on Sunday, November 15.

While their first shared training session represents an important milestone, the possibility of both brothers appearing together in an England competitive match remains dependent on Tuchel’s team selection.

For now, their inclusion in the same senior squad provides an opportunity to turn a long-held family ambition into reality.https://web.facebook.com/share/p/1MQygmqiVY/
