Jobe Bellingham was named alongside older brother Jude in Thomas Tuchel's England squad for the first time on Friday as Chelsea's Cole Palmer missed out.

Fulham teenager Josh King has also been handed his first call-up ahead of Nations League games against Croatia and Spain.

Tuchel said in September that Palmer "misses too many opportunities" to impress at international level after he pulled out of England's previous squad due to injury.

The Chelsea star, who was not included for the World Cup, has been left out as Tuchel takes the opportunity to look at younger options with a place in the quarter-finals of the Nations League almost guaranteed.

Jobe Bellingham, 21, has been rewarded for a strong start to his second season at Borussia Dortmund, where Jude also played for three seasons before moving to Real Madrid.

King has impressed despite Fulham's struggles in the Premier League, while Liverpool's 18-year-old winger Rio Ngumoha is also included.

"Lee Carsley (the England under-21 coach) is talking highly about Jobe since weeks and months that he deserves, if there is a spot and if there is a possibility to join and to make an impression in the first team," Tuchel said in a video posted by England on their social media channels.

"He has had good matches now and he's on a good run of form with Dortmund so he deserves to be with us."

England are second in group A3 after four games, with three wins and a defeat, against Spain at Wembley.

The Three Lions host Croatia, whom they beat 7-0 last month, on Thursday before travelling to take on Spain with just one point needed to qualify for the knockout rounds in March.

Newly crowned Ballon d'Or winner Harry Kane is set to surpass Peter Shilton as England's most-capped men's player after drawing level with the former goalkeeper on 125 appearances against the Czech Republic.

Bayern Munich ‌assistant coach Aaron Danks is looking forward to the international break next week after stepping in to replace Vincent Kompany following his illness in the past two weeks, he said on Friday.

Kompany collapsed on the training pitch on October 23 and was rushed to hospital. He was later diagnosed with meningeal irritation and has since been recovering at home.

Danks has led the team to three wins and a draw in ‌his four ‌matches in charge, including Tuesday's 2-0 ‌Champions ⁠League victory at ⁠Atletico Madrid and a 6-1 demolition of Magdeburg in the German Cup.

"Obviously, I am someone who wants to learn so it was a good challenge for me, but the circumstances were not something I would have hoped or wished for," Danks told a ⁠press conference. "It is not like I am ‌happy for this opportunity ‌but I have embraced it and learned a lot."

While there ‌is no date for Kompany's return to work, ‌the international break after this weekend's matches will give both the Belgian and Danks time to rest.

Bayern, top of the Bundesliga, ahead of Borussia Dortmund on goal difference, travel ‌to Mainz 05 on Saturday.

"I am looking forward to the rest and the ⁠break, especially ⁠for me, to get back home to see the family," Danks said. "Hopefully after a victory I can fly home and spend time with the family in a nice way."

He said the team had so far delivered, with Danks and his coaching staff drawing on the work of the past two and a half years with Kompany.

"It has been about sticking a lot to our processes. It's been difficult, but I think we have done it through Vince's lens, through his leadership style," Danks said.

Jannik Sinner confirmed on Friday that Magnus Norman will replace his long-time coach Darren Cahill, who helped shape the Italian into the world's top tennis player.

In a statement, world number two Sinner said that he would conclude his partnership with Cahill, which began in June 2022, "at the end of the 2026 season".

Working with Cahill and Simone Vagnozzi, Sinner has become the pre-eminent figure in men's tennis alongside Spanish star Carlos Alcaraz.

Sinner is already the most successful Italian tennis player of all time at the age of 25, a five-time Grand Slam winner who last year became the first man from his country to win Wimbledon.

"I want to thank Darren for his belief in me, his honesty and his dedication. He has helped me grow both as a player and as a person, and his guidance will stay with me throughout my career," said Sinner.

"We have shared so many special moments over the past five years, and while our coaching partnership is coming to an end, our friendship will continue."

Sinner has been injured since winning Wimbledon for the second straight year in July, and lost his spot at the top of the men's world rankings to Alexander Zverev.

He is set to return to action in the "Six Kings Slam" tournament in Saudi Arabia in December.
