Gareth Southgate is ready to give Jude Bellingham his Wembley chance - but warned the Bundesliga is holding him back.
England teenager Bellingham, 18, is regarded as one of the best talents in Europe and has dominated Champions League matches for Borussia Dortmund. But Bellingham’s path has often been blocked in becoming a regular starter despite his obvious and precocious talent and now Southgate has hinted why the midfielder has not had more chances.
Three Lions boss Southgate said the standard of the Premier League is "undoubtedly higher" than the Bundesliga and that is the biggest factor holding him back along with Dortmund’s "inconsistent" season.
