"Jude Bellingham could miss a key opportunity to make his case to Thomas Tuchel that he should be on the plane to North America for this summer's World Cup. The Real Madrid star was forced out of action just ten minutes into Real Madrid's victory over Rayo Vallecano on February 1 and was initially given a four-week prognosis for his recovery."
"That longer spell on the sidelines puts Bellingham's involvement in England's March friendlies in doubt. The Three Lions are set for a pair of games at Wembley at the end of next month as they face Uruguay on March 27 and Japan on March 31 - the last England men's games on home soil before the World Cup.

Jude Bellingham was forced out ten minutes into Real Madrid's victory over Rayo Vallecano on February 1 and was initially given a four-week prognosis. Reports now suggest he could be sidelined for up to twice as long. That longer recovery puts his involvement in England's March friendlies at Wembley — against Uruguay on March 27 and Japan on March 31 — in doubt. Bellingham missed World Cup qualifiers in September with a shoulder injury and was a surprise omission from Tuchel's squad in October despite returning to fitness weeks earlier. He was recalled in November but began from the bench against Serbia before being restored to the starting line-up for the final qualifier against Albania. The extended layoff could undermine his case for a World Cup place in North America.
