Overview

  • The 25-year-old Chelsea centre-back received his first England selection for upcoming matches against Andorra and Senegal.
  • Chalobah earned the call-up after a loan spell at Crystal Palace and a second-half season return that helped Chelsea secure Conference League silverware and Champions League qualification.
  • Tuchel has praised Chalobah’s consistency and indicated he ranks ahead of 64-cap defender Harry Maguire in the national pecking order.
  • If he makes his debut he and brother Nathaniel would become only the third sibling pair to represent England since World War II.
