Jude Bellingham will not feature for England national football team in their upcoming match against Japan national football team, with officials confirming a cautious approach over his recent injury.
The decision has been jointly taken by England’s medical staff and Real Madrid, who are closely monitoring the midfielder’s fitness. Bellingham only recently returned to action after a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Both parties have agreed that avoiding any risk is the priority at this stage.
Head coach Thomas Tuchel made the stance clear. He stated that no risks will be taken with the player, highlighting the importance of his long-term fitness. The focus remains on ensuring he is fully ready for upcoming major competitions.
Despite his absence in the Japan fixture, there is strong confidence that Bellingham will be included in England’s squad for the upcoming FIFA World Cup. Sources indicate that his place in the squad is not under threat, provided there are no further setbacks.
For Real Madrid, the situation is equally significant. The club expects Bellingham to return to full training later this week as they prepare for crucial matches ahead. His availability could play a key role in their season run-in.
