Trevoh Chalobah followed his brother Nathaniel in representing England, becoming the twenty-first duo of siblings to earn caps for the England side.

The Chelsea defender is expected to link up with the England squad to cover for injured Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi.

The 26-year-old footballer is scheduled to meet up with the squad for England's final World Cup qualifying matches against Serbia and Albania, but it has still not been made public.

The Three Lions have already booked their place for the upcoming tournament.

Chalobah was given his first call-up under England head coach Thomas Tuchel in the month of May and then played his first game against Senegal.

In September, Tuchel remarked Chalobah was unfortunate to be omitted from the squad for qualifiers against Serbia and Andorra, and additionally omitted him for the following October matches.

Tuchel has been an significant figure in Chalobah's development, having handed him his Chelsea debut in 2021.

Chalobah has appeared in almost every fixtures for Chelsea in the current campaign, with the side occupying third spot in the Premier League, in the EFL Cup last eight and in the league phase of the Champions League.

Guehi sustained a foot problem in Crystal Palace's Conference League win over AZ Alkmaar recently.

There are likely to be other inclusions to the selection. Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has announced that both winger Anthony Gordon (hip) and goalkeeper Nick Pope (a concussion) will be unavailable from the squad.
