Trevoh Chalobah followed his sibling Nathaniel in representing England, emerging as the twenty-first duo of brothers to earn caps for the national team.

The Chelsea defender is set to be added to the England squad to fill in for injured Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.

The 26-year-old is due to join the national side for England's remaining World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Serbia, although it has not yet been made public.

The national side have already qualified for the upcoming competition.

Chalobah earned his first call-up under England head coach Thomas Tuchel in May and then earned his first cap against Senegal.

In the month of September, Tuchel stated Chalobah was unlucky to be excluded from the selection for qualifying games against Andorra and Serbia, and additionally didn't call him up for the following October international break.

Tuchel has been an significant presence in Chalobah's career, having given him his Chelsea first-team bow in the year 2021.

Chalobah has appeared in all but four games for Chelsea this season, with the club occupying third spot in the Premier League, in the EFL Cup quarter-finals and in the group stage of the European competition.

Guehi suffered a foot injury in Crystal Palace's Conference League win over the Dutch side recently.

There are set to be additional call-ups to the squad. Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has said that both attacker Anthony Gordon (hip injury) and shot-stopper Nick Pope (a concussion) are set to pull out from the squad.
