Bellingham Opted Out Of Tuchel’s England Squad – Reports

‎Jude Bellingham reportedly requested to be omitted from England’s latest squad after being unexpectedly dropped by Thomas Tuchel ahead of the October international break.

‎The 22-year-old midfielder was a surprise omission from Tuchel’s selection. As a result, he will miss England’s friendly against Wales and their World Cup qualifier away to Latvia.

‎According to Spanish outlet Marca, it was Jude Bellingham who asked Thomas Tuchel to leave him out of the squad this time, rather than being dropped.

‎The midfielder recently returned from injury but still isn’t fully fit. He reportedly felt some discomfort during Real Madrid’s 5-2 La Liga defeat to Atletico last week.

‎After recognising he wasn’t at 100 per cent, Bellingham decided to sit out the international break to focus on regaining full fitness.
