Real Madrid talisman to make much-awaited return to the national team this month | OneFootball

According to The Guardian, Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham is set to make his long-awaited return to international duty, with the midfielder expected to be named in the England squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

Bellingham, who has been in sensational form for Real Madrid in recent weeks, missed both the September and October international breaks due to different reasons. 

His absence left a notable void in England’s midfield, but it now appears that Thomas Tuchel is ready to bring him back into the fold for the crucial fixtures against Serbia and Albania.

The report highlights that Thomas Tuchel has decided to recall Bellingham to the England squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Albania. 

Important time for Bellingham

Tuchel’s upcoming announcement is particularly significant because it represents the last opportunity for him to evaluate his players in competitive action before the tournament begins. 

After this window, England will regroup only in March for two friendly fixtures ahead of the final squad reveal in May.

Bellingham’s return is perfectly timed. The 22-year-old has rediscovered his rhythm at Real Madrid, delivering standout performances in some of the club’s biggest matches. 

He has been involved directly in goals against Juventus, Barcelona (a goal and an assist), and Valencia, all while maintaining his presence across 90 minutes in each encounter. 

Back in form

With such consistent performances, Bellingham has reminded everyone why he remains one of England’s most indispensable stars. 

Despite England already securing their place at next summer’s World Cup, becoming the first European side to qualify for the tournament, Tuchel clearly views Bellingham as integral to the team’s preparations. 

With the World Cup fast approaching, England fans will be delighted to see the Real Madrid talisman back in action, ready to inspire once again on the international stage.
