England's international break squad: Bellingham brothers headline the list

England's squad for the upcoming international break in November features a notable surprise with Thomas Tuchel calling up Jude Bellingham, a player from Borussia Dortmund, for the first time to the senior national team, joining his older brother, Jude Bellingham, star of Real Madrid.

Despite Jude Bellingham's expected inclusion in the squad, the call-up of his younger brother was a surprise, as Job had only participated with England's youth teams in the past before getting his first opportunity with the senior national team.

Jude Bellingham will face two tough tests during the upcoming international break as the England national team prepares to take on Croatia at Wembley Stadium before traveling to Spain to face the Spanish national team at the Metropolitano Stadium.

In contrast, the most notable absentee from the squad was Cole Palmer, the Chelsea star, as Thomas Tuchel decided not to call him up, despite his brilliance with his team under Xabi Alonso, scoring 5 goals and providing 3 assists so far.

The squad includes several prominent names, led by Harry Kane, the captain and striker for Bayern Munich, alongside Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who receives a call-up for the second consecutive time. The squad also sees the return of Declan Rice, Ben White, and Djed Spence after recovering from injuries.

In contrast, Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka will miss out due to fitness issues, while Phil Foden, Nico O'Reilly, and Jordan Henderson have been left out for tactical reasons by Tuchel.
