Jude Bellingham out of England’s March international games | OneFootball

Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham will likely miss England’s March international fixtures ahead of the 2026 World Cup, according to the BBC.

The Three Lions face Uruguay and Japan at Wembley at the end of March.

Bellingham suffered a hamstring injury earlier this month and was supposed to be out for around four weeks.

However, it appears he will be out for between six and eight weeks, a massive blow for Thomas Tuchel’s squad.

Bellingham has been struggling with injuries for some time, allowing Morgan Rogers to usurp his place in the first team.

The former Borussia Dortmund ace is in no danger of losing his place in the team, but will be desperate to get back to his best and find consistency.

The 22-year-old has managed six goals and four assists in 28 appearances this term, but Rogers’ form will keep him on his toes.

Rogers has been in sensational form for Aston Villa, playing a talismanic role in their title charge, while Ollie Watkins has struggled for form.

The Villa star has recorded 10 goals and seven assists in 36 appearances this season, including some absolute piledrivers to decide games.

Based on current form, Rogers has built a compelling case to be placed ahead of Bellingham in England’s midfield hierarchy, at least in the short term.

The 23-year-old playmaker has thrived when given responsibility, showcasing creativity, direct running, and a growing knack for decisive moments.

While Bellingham remains one of England’s most gifted players, his recurring injury setbacks have created an opening Rogers has seized with aplomb.

Tuchel values momentum and match sharpness, both of which Rogers currently possesses in abundance.

If he maintains his trajectory and continues influencing big games at club level, he should edge himself into England’s starting XI, carrying that advantage into the 2026 World Cup.
