Six times brothers played against each other


Six times brothers played against each other

The Sessegnons, 24, both started out at Fulham but Steven moved to Wigan in 2023, while Ryan has also played for Tottenham and Hoffenheim before moving back to Fulham.

“Ryan is my twin and the game is against my former club,” Steven told the BBC. “It’s going to be exciting for all the family.”

It is thought this might be the first time twins have shared a pitch for an FA Cup match but it is far from the first time that brothers have played in the same game.

Here are six times brothers have found themselves on opposing teams.

Ex-Arsenal captain Granit Xhaka chose to play for Switzerland, his country of birth, rather than Albania, where the family descend from.
