JAKARTA - England coach Gareth Southgate is wary of Jude Bellingham's condition ahead of the 2026 World Cup Qualification against Malta on November 18, 2023 at Wembley Stadium.
The Real Madrid midfielder is reportedly suffering a shoulder injury.
"Jude Bellingham was diagnosed with left shoulder anterior instability due to his recent dislocation," read a Real Madrid statement at Sky Sports.
Southgate's concerns grew even more when Bellingham was completely out of Carlo Ancelotti's line-up against Valencia on November 12, 2023.
Southgate's vortices in the past few days have not only been about Bellingham. Several other selected players are also doubtful about being able to join the Three Lions for the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.

Callum Wilson was also recently also reportedly injured. In fact, Newcastle United Manager Eddie Howe revealed that his striker would withdraw from the England squad.
Wilson suffered a hamstring injury when Newcastle lost in the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund in mid-October 2023. He was also absent when his team was beaten by Bournemouth 0-2 last weekend.
"Callum will not go with England. He will be out for a few weeks," Howe said.
England's schedule for the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers is fairly tight. After hosting Malta, they will visit North Macedonia three days later.
