Jude Bellingham, a key player for England, is facing tensions under coach Thomas Tuchel. The coach has repeatedly criticized him and left him on the bench.

Jude Bellingham, the midfielder from Real Madrid, has become an essential player for the England national team, having 46 caps and scoring at the 2022 World Cup and Euro 2024. However, his relationship with coach Thomas Tuchel has deteriorated in recent months, with Tuchel leaving Bellingham out of squads and starting elevens. The coach described his on-field behavior as 'repulsive', but later apologized. Despite a successful qualifying campaign, Bellingham was visibly irritated when he was substituted in the 84th minute during the match against Albania. Tuchel stated that the incident will be 'reviewed', emphasizing the importance of behavior. Bellingham's reaction raised questions about his frustrations and the tension between him and the coach, which could pose a significant problem ahead of next year's tournament.
