Jude Bellingham is returning to the England squad for the final qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup against Serbia and Albania. Coach Thomas Tuchel highlighted that the player has earned his trust in the team, particularly following a successful performance for Real Madrid.
Tuchel stressed the importance of players, who have shown great results in previous matches, and explained why Bellingham and Phil Foden were absent from the last squad. He noted that Bellingham's absence was not a personal decision, but rather a confirmation of the support from those who already trust his value in the team.
The coach believes that Bellingham has a "key" role necessary for achieving success and hopes that his energy will help the team in the battle for the world champion title. Tuchel also emphasized the importance of creating an environment that allows Bellingham to maximize his potential, especially against superstars.
Tuchel plans to utilize Bellingham in the role of a "number ten" while Foden is also competing for that position. The coach added that the competition among the forwards is essential for maintaining high-level performance in the team.
Before the matches, the coach plans to identify the optimal utilization of both players' talents to ensure the team remains strong and united.
