England boss Thomas Tuchel looks set to back the Real Madrid midfielder ahead of Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers, with Bellingham likely to operate behind Harry Kane in a strong attacking setup.

Declan Rice and Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson are expected to partner him in midfield, while Ezri Konsa is tipped to start alongside John Stones in central defence, leaving Marc Guéhi on the bench.

At full back, Reece James and Nico O’Reilly are in line to start, with Anthony Gordon on the left and Noni Madueke likely to replace Bukayo Saka on the right as he continues his recovery from injury. Kane will captain the side and lead the attack.
