New footage released today shows the Three Lions ace - and their saviour against the Norwegians - clutching his shoulder and grimacing while walking through the mixed zone post-match at the Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday. It came after Bellngham was spotted tending to his left shoulder while speaking to manager Thomas Tuchel‚ leaving journalists at Buenos Aires publication TyC Sports convinced that England's star man could be injured.

Tuchel-Bellingham ‘clash' derails England as Argentina make ‘urgent request' and Spidercam truth revealed
The Three Lions will face Argentina for the first time in 21 years when the two teams line up in Atlanta for a place in Sunday's final against either Spain or France. It will mark the second time in three World Cups that England have reached the semi-final stage and‚ after Saturday evening's scalp of Norway‚ Thomas Tuchel's men have been backed to knockout the reigning champions by a host of ex-players.
WORLD CUP ROUND-UP: England respond to Tuchel vs Bellingham clash as FIFA face fresh backlash over controversial Balogun decision
MICHAEL OWEN: If I'm sitting in the England dressing room‚ I wouldn't be bothered in the slightest by Thomas Tuchel questioning our performance after the win over Norway. First‚ he was right. Second‚ players only get upset when a manager questions their attitude. That's personal. That's when you start looking around wondering who he's talking about. Tuchel did the exact opposite. He praised England's mentality‚ their resilience and willingness to suffer for each other.
On one side of the draw‚ France and Spain‚ the stylists and the matadors‚ most people's pick for the best two teams of the tournament so far. In the other semi-final‚ two more sides who many see as mirrors of each other‚ two sides whose progress to the last four has been more about struggle than style. Thomas Tuchel talked candidly about England's search for their best form after the gritty victory over Norway in Miami on Saturday and‚ beyond all the freighted emotional and political baggage that will come with their clash in Atlanta on Wednesday‚ Argentina are enduring similar labours. They are led by the ageless wonder that is Lionel Messi‚ the joint top scorer in the tournament and the leading scorer in World Cup history‚ and that always has to be the starting point of any analysis of England's opponents.

HEY JUDE! How Jude Bellingham became England's World Cup hero who answered every Thomas Tuchel doubt
Tuchel's fiery messaging has proved to be a useful tool throughout this tournament - but it didn't have the immediate intended consequence on this occasion.

Thomas Tuchel issues response to Jude Bellingham after dig at England players - ‘no one disputes that'
Jude Bellingham insists England manager Thomas Tuchel 'maybe doesn't know' what he's talking about in a remarkable spiky interview after the World Cup quarter-final win over Norway. The Three Lions needed extra-time - and two Bellingham goals - to get past Erling Haaland's Norway and set up a semi-final against Lionel Messi and Argentina to come on Wednesday night. Tuchel branded his players 'lucky' in an awkward ITV post-match interview - and Bellingham did not take to it kindly. At first England's matchwinner tried to dodge the topic pitchside‚ saying: 'Yeah‚ well‚ whatever.'
MIKE KEEGAN AND JACK GAUGHAN IN MIAMI: Thomas Tuchel and Jude Bellingham offered two very different assessments of the Three Lions' progression to the World Cup semi-final on a fraught night in Miami. The German branded his side 'lucky' after Bellingham's brace and help from both VAR and a spider camera cable saw them creep past Norway after extra-time. But the Real Madrid talisman‚ who now has six goals for the tournament‚ appeared to dismiss his head coach's comments‚ declaring simply 'whatever' before hailing England's ability to 'win dirty'.
