Chalobah, who plays for Chelsea in the Premier League, was called up to the England national team for the first time earlier due to his outstanding performance. Chalobah said that being called up to the England national team is his goal and he is looking forward to training and playing with his teammates.

In the 2024/25 season, the 25-year-old defender Chalobah was loaned to Crystal Palace and scored 3 goals in 12 appearances, but returned to Chelsea in January this year.

It is worth mentioning that Chelsea defeated Real Betis 4-1 in the UEFA European Association League final earlier and successfully won the championship. Chalobah started in the final and played the full 90 minutes.

In addition, England will travel to Andorra in the third round of the European qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. In the next round of the group stage, Tuchel will lead the team to face Senegal at the City Football Stadium.

"It's been an incredible week, having just won the title with the club and then being called up to England, which was one of my goals this season," Chalobah said.

"I'm really happy to be here. I was so excited when I got the call. I've been working towards this for a few years, and even this season, it's been one of my biggest goals, so I'm really happy to be here."

In addition, Chalobah's brother Nathaniel Chalobah was also called up by the England national team and made his debut in October 2018. Currently, Nathaniel Chalobah plays for Sheffield Wednesday.

Chalobah said: "My brother is very happy for me because he has been selected for the national team himself, so it is really special to share this moment with him and my family."

“Nathaniel has just told me to enjoy it and I already know a lot of my teammates and they are all really good, so I’m really looking forward to training and getting ready for the game.”
