Real Madrid are reportedly upset with
England's handling of
Jude Bellingham during the
international break‚ after the midfielder sat out of the
Three Lions friendlies with
Uruguay and
Japan.
Bellingham‚ 22‚ has been fighting for fitness after injuring his hamstring in early February‚ and only managed a brief cameo off the bench in
Los Blancos' derby day victory over
Atletico Madrid two weeks ago. Nevertheless‚
England head coach
Thomas Tuchel opted to call up the not fully recovered
Bellingham to his expanded 35-man squad for the final
international camp before he chooses his cohort for this summer's
World Cup in
North America. The midfielder trained with his team-mates ahead of both the 1-1 draw to
Uruguay at
Wembley and Tuesday's shock 1-0 defeat to
Japan‚ but did not play a single minute in either game.
