Tuchel names Jude and Jobe Bellingham in England squad but omits Cole Palmer

Thomas Tuchel has named brothers Jude and Jobe Bellingham together in the England senior squad for the first time. The England manager described the call-up as an incredible story. England face Croatia and Spain in the Nations League.

Cole Palmer has been left out. Tuchel said the Chelsea midfielder misses too many opportunities to impress. Palmer pulled out of the last England camp, and Tuchel said he had expressed his frustration then. Later BBC One West bulletins noted that Palmer was also among the big names left out of the summer World Cup squad.

Jobe Bellingham, the England under-21 captain, gets his first senior call-up after impressing Tuchel with his performances for Borussia Dortmund. Jude Bellingham, a Real Madrid player, was England's standout player at the World Cup, according to BBC One West's lunchtime bulletin. If the brothers play together, they could be the first siblings to represent England since Phil and Gary Neville. The later bulletins noted that Bobby and Jack Charlton, who helped England win the World Cup, are among the most famous brothers to play for the country.

BBC One West's lunchtime bulletin reported that Jobe does not wear the family name on his shirt and is keen to make his own way. The same bulletin reported that Fulham midfielder Josh King, 19, was one of four players Tuchel took to the World Cup as a training group, despite not making a senior debut. It also reported that there was no place for Kobbie Mainoo or Manchester City's Phil Foden.

The later BBC One West bulletins reported that Harry Kane, fresh from winning the Ballon d'Or, is set to make a record 126th appearance for England. They also reported that a win on Thursday would secure England's place in the quarter-finals of the Nations League. BBC One West's later bulletins described the squad as a real statement from Tuchel: players must prove themselves or he will pick someone else.
