Family affair: Chalobah brothers set to join exclusive England group | OneFootball

Trevoh Chalobah is hoping to make his England debut this evening when the Three Lions take on Andorra in World Cup qualification.

Chalobah has been called up to the senior side for the first time, following an impressive season with Crystal Palace and Chelsea. The defender helped Chelsea to Europa Conference League success last season and is now pushing for an international debut.

Should he feature, the Chalobah family will become just the third to have two brothers play for England since the Second World War. A total of 21 brothers have represented England, but just two post-war.

Jack and Bobby Charlton each featured as part of England’s 1966 World Cup winning team. Centre-back Jack won 35 caps for the Three Lions, scoring six times.

His younger brother, Bobby, won the Ballon d’Or after England’s World Cup success. He retired with the then records as England’s most capped player and highest goalscorer, having scored 49 times in 106 games for England.

The second set of brothers to feature for England post-war are Phil and Gary Neville. Combined, the defensive duo won 144 caps for England.

Chalobah will be hoping his international career lasts longer than elder brother Nathaniel, who featured for just six minutes on his sole appearance for England in 2018.
