Jude Bellingham has spoken out after his recent dismal performances for England at EURO 2024.
Bellingham began the tournament in flying form, scoring inside the opening 15 minutes against Serbia, but faded as the game went on.
His next two performances against Denmark and Slovenia were progressively worse, with the 0-0 draw against Slovenia drawing so much criticism, leading to calls for Southgate to drop the 20-year-old star.
