Bellingham injured and suspendedJoins up with England for friendliesSouthgate comments on strugglesWHAT HAPPENED?

The 20-year-old superstar missed three games due to an ankle sprain throughout February before making his return during the 2-2 draw against Valencia. Sadly for Bellingham, this game was also tarnished after he was sent off by referee Jesus Gil Manzano in the 99th minute for dissent. The England international was less than impressed after the final whistle was blown just seconds before he nodded in what he thought was the winner on the evening.

Bellingham was able to feature in the 1-1 draw with RB Leipzig in the Champions League four days after the red card, but has since missed the games against both Celta Vigo and Osasuna in the top flight of Spanish football.

WHAT SOUTHGATE SAID

Speaking in his press conference on Friday ahead of the friendly clash with Brazil, Southgate said: "We are super happy to have him, but he is still 20 years old. The success of our team will depend on the entire team."

The England boss then went on to talk about Bellingham's struggles across recent weeks, where he added: "The last few weeks have been a bit difficult for him, with the injuries and the red card, so he is a bit upset.”

GettyWHAT NEXT FOR BELLINGHAM?

The Real Madrid man has now linked up with England and will likely feature in the friendlies against both Brazil – where he will face his Real Madrid team-mate Vinicius Junior – and Belgium. He has now served the two-game ban he was handed by La Liga for his red card against Valencia and will be available to face Athletic Club after the break.
