Bellingham reduced to cameo role as England cruise against Serbia
England secured a 2-0 World Cup qualifier victory against Serbia with goals from Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze, maintaining their perfect record in Group K. However, the match was notable for manager Thomas Tuchel's decision to bench Jude Bellingham, opting for Morgan Rogers in the starting lineup. Tuchel cited Rogers' strong performances and the team's evolving tactics as reasons for his choice, suggesting Bellingham needs to fight for his place. Despite his late appearance, Bellingham contributed to Eze's goal. Tuchel emphasized that the team needed to avoid complacity. The win marks Tuchel's eighth victory in nine matches since September, including seven World Cup qualifiers without conceding.
