For the matches against Malta and North Macedonia, England manager Gareth Southgate made three changes to his team, however he kept Jude Bellingham in spite of a shoulder injury. The midfielder for Real Madrid was not present for the matches against Valencia and Braga, but he will be evaluated by English medical professionals before returning to Madrid to recuperate.
“He’s going to England, but he’s coming back,” He is going to put in the necessary training over the next few weeks to strengthen his shoulder. “He can play again after the break,” Merengue coach Carlo Ancelotti said. James Maddison, Callum Wilson, and Lewis Dunk are also out for England; their replacements will be Cole Palmer of Chelsea, Rico Lewis of Manchester City, and Ezri Konsa of Aston Villa.
Having already qualified for the European Championship, England’s two non-crucial matches are against North Macedonia four days later and Malta on Friday. After doing this and coming to the conclusion that Bellingham should heal, the player will not be included in the squad for the matches against Malta and North Macedonia. Instead, he will be rested for the next ten days, with the goal of returning for Real Madrid’s matches following the international break.
