Thomas Tuchel reveals Premier League star was overtaken by Jobe Bellingham

Thomas Tuchel has revealed that Jobe Bellingham outshone Kobbie Mainoo to earn a spot in this latest England squad. The Borussia Dortmund star was a surprise inclusion in Tuchel’s squad for the upcoming Nations League clashes against Spain and Croatia. Jobe joins brother Jude in the 25-man squad after a run of impressive form for the Bundesliga giants. His superb display in Dortmund’s 2-2 draw at Bayern Munich last Saturday was arguably the clincher for Tuchel with Jobe delivering one of his best games since his arrival in 2025.
