Jobe Bellingham and Fulham midfielder Josh King have received their first senior England call-ups for November’s Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain.

Thomas Tuchel named the pair in a 25-player squad announced by England Football on Friday 6 November. Both move up from the under-21 side, with Jobe joining his brother Jude.

Djed Spence and Declan Rice return after missing the previous camp through injury. Ben White is also back, having last been selected in March.

Two games to settle qualification

England host Croatia at Wembley on Thursday 12 November before visiting Spain in Madrid on Sunday 15 November. The fixtures complete their Nations League group campaign.

England Football says avoiding defeat against Croatia would secure a quarter-final place.
