England manager Thomas Tuchel has confirmed he plans to speak to Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham over his role with the national team.
Despite being one of the biggest names in English football currently, Bellingham was left out of Tuchel’s squad for the October international break. While the manager argued Bellingham’s absence was down to fitness—he had only just returned from shoulder surgery—the spotlight intensified on a player whose attitude he described as “repulsive” in June. Tuchel later apologised, pointing to a poor choice of words in his second language.
