Serious questions are now being asked over Thomas Tuchel’s management of Jude Bellingham, as England fans and media grow increasingly frustrated with how the Real Madrid superstar has been treated.
Despite being widely regarded as England’s most important player, Bellingham has barely featured under Tuchel in recent months a decision that many believe could come back to haunt the Three Lions.
The Timeline Raising Eyebrows
September: Missed out due to injury
October: Left out entirely a call made by Tuchel
November: Limited minutes despite being available
To critics, this isn’t rotation it’s mismanagement.
Journalists and pundits argue Tuchel missed a golden opportunity to integrate Bellingham during his recovery period, build chemistry, and lay the foundations for the 2026 World Cup. Instead, the England boss chose to keep his biggest star on the fringes.
Some within the media have gone even further, accusing Tuchel of “playing mind games” with Bellingham a risky move when the squad desperately needs unity and leadership.
Fans Are Asking the Big Question Why would England’s manager sideline a player who is:
Dominating La Liga
Leading Real Madrid
Seen as the future captain of England
With the World Cup fast approaching, concerns are growing that Tuchel’s decisions could damage team chemistry before the tournament even begins.
One thing is clear: if England stumble in 2026, this Bellingham situation will be one of the first decisions under the microscope.
