Bellinghams celebrate ‘beautiful story’ as Jobe joins Jude in Tuchel’s England 2.0
Jude had asked head coach to scout Dortmund midfielder‘It will be beautiful for Jude to have his brother close’Thomas Tuchel has given a first England call-up to Jobe Bellingham, admitting the midfielder’s older brother, Jude, had nagged him to do so, as he set up the prospect of their family dream being realised.Tuchel’s inclusion of the younger Bellingham for the Nations League games against Croatia and Spain was further evidence of his shift away from the squad that served him well at the World Cup last summer and towards a fresh dynamic for the mission to win Euro 2028. The manager has named a 25-man group for the game against Croatia at Wembley on Thursday and the one against Spain in Madrid three days after; of the 22 outfield players, only 11 were at the World Cup.

Indeed, Newcastle are finding life without last term’s continental fix so tricky that they travel to Fulham on Saturday with the disgruntled mindset of a passenger accustomed to flying business class who suddenly finds themselves stuck in a cramped, mid-row economy seat.

Concern among counties due to reliance on ECB fundingOptimism that eventual figure could be reduced to £35mThe England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is forecasting losses of tens of millions of pounds next year despite hosting the Ashes, with county executives told last week that the deficit could be as large as £50m.The anticipated shortfall, after posting a profit of £12.6m in 2025, is due to a combination of the cyclical nature of the governing body’s media revenues, which is largely determined by domestic opposition, and a recent decision by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to withhold a portion of the broadcast payments owed to members that it had been due to distribute in 2027.
