Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jobe Bellingham said Saturday he hoped to fulfil a \u201chuge dream\u201d by playing alongside brother Jude after being called up to the England squad.<\/p>\n

On Friday, England manager Thomas Tuchel named Jobe, 21, in England\u2019s 25-man squad for November\u2019s Nations League fixtures with Croatia and Spain.<\/p>\n

Speaking after Dortmund\u2019s 2-1 home win over Elversberg in the Bundesliga, Jobe said he and brother had acted out playing together for England when they were kids.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really good. I don\u2019t want to get too carried away, but it\u2019s obviously a big dream for me and for Jude as well,\u201d the younger Bellingham told DAZN.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince we were young, we reenacted that so many times in the garden or wherever, in the park, playing for England together.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo it\u2019s a huge dream. It\u2019s not happened yet, so I don\u2019t want to jinx or say it too early, but yeah, I\u2019m really excited.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jobe has captained England\u2019s under-21s but this is his first senior call-up.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid midfielder Jude, 23, who also made his England debut while playing for Dortmund, now has 60 England caps.<\/p>\n

Jobe took time to adapt to the Bundesliga since joining in 2025 but has impressed this season and has become an established member of Dortmund\u2019s starting XI.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Friday, Dortmund coach Niko Kovac praised Jobe\u2019s development and dedication to improving his game.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is really a complete football freak. He studies his own game and the games of other players to learn from the best in his position.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd he\u2019s a really great lad and he\u2019s got an excellent attitude. I\u2019m really happy for him that he can now wear the jersey of his national team next to his brother.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s something quite special, not just to play for your country, but to play alongside your brother. It\u2019s incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n
