Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois was interviewed recently. He said that he could not imagine England without Bellingham.

Bellingham was not called up to the England squad by Tuchel during this month’s international match. When asked whether Bellingham would appear with him on the World Cup stage next summer, Courtois said: "Yes, of course. I don’t think we can imagine the England team without Bellingham. He absolutely should It's time to be selected for England."

"I don't think this is a problem. Bellingham is recovering from injuries and surgery. He must regain his physical fitness. He does not have much playing time at the moment, so it is a better choice for England and Real Madrid for him to train and strengthen his physical reserves."
