"Jude Bellingham's omission from the England squad marks the first time in four years that the Real Madrid star has missed out on a call-up when fit and available. Thomas Tuchel's Three Lions squad is the same as it was last month bar Bukayo Saka and Jarrell Quansah getting the nod in place of injured duo Noni Madueke and Tino Livramento."
"We would like to see Tuchel try and claim with a straight face that the Milan midfielder, whose last cap came in 2018, was genuinely ahead of Bellingham in his thoughts for next summer's World Cup. Bellingham absence naturally led to tabloid-led questions as to whether there is a 'problem' between Tuchel and the midfielder, and an implication that the Real Madrid star may now fall into the same boat as Phil Foden and Jack Grealish"
Jude Bellingham was omitted from the England squad, the first time in four years he has missed a call-up while fit and available. Thomas Tuchel selected largely the same squad as last month, with Bukayo Saka and Jarrell Quansah replacing injured Noni Madueke and Tino Livramento. Bellingham missed the recent wins over Andorra and Serbia with a shoulder injury but returned for Real Madrid on September 20, yet Tuchel opted to exclude him this month. Ruben Loftus-Cheek retained his place despite not playing, and the omission prompted tabloid questions about a potential rift similar to those involving Phil Foden and Jack Grealish.
