Bellingham Omitted as England Win 3-0

Jude Bellingham was omitted from England’s recent squad — a decision Tuchel linked to delayed full fitness after shoulder surgery and tactical considerations as he adapts to a different role at Real Madrid under coach Xabi Alonso, where Arda Güler has emerged as the preferred No.10. England beat Wales 3-0 at Wembley, with Morgan Rogers scoring inside two minutes and goals from Ollie Watkins and Bukayo Saka, underlining the squad’s depth and strengthening Rogers’ claim for the No.10 role. Manager Thomas Tuchel said he prioritises the team over individuals and warned he is prepared to leave talented players out if it boosts England’s tournament chances. John Stones was highlighted as an irreplaceable leader and central figure for any World Cup bid. Teammate Jordan Henderson publicly backed Bellingham, praising his mentality and expecting him to regain full fitness and his place.
