Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden Return to England Squad
Jude Bellingham has been recalled to the England team for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Albania. The Real Madrid midfielder, previously left out of Thomas Tuchel’s October selection due to concerns over his character and fitness, now rejoins the squad for the November fixtures.
During the summer, Bellingham underwent shoulder surgery, which limited his playing time upon returning to Real Madrid. Tuchel took no chances on his recovery when naming the previous squad. Despite that, his absence raised questions since his leadership and creativity were seen as vital ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
"Tickets to that event have been safely secured, with the Three Lions making faultless progress through their group."
Now fully fit, Bellingham earns another opportunity to extend his tally of 43 caps for England. Phil Foden from Manchester City also reenters the lineup, bringing additional creativity to Tuchel’s setup.
In a surprise move, Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott receives his first senior call-up, highlighting Tuchel’s willingness to reward emerging talent.
Summary
Bellingham and Foden return to the England squad for World Cup qualifiers, while young midfielder Alex Scott earns his debut call-up, reflecting Tuchel’s evolving strategy before 2026.
