Bellingham back as Tuchel names England team vs Albania

Jude Bellingham has been recalled to the England side to face Albania this evening.

The Real Madrid midfielder was named as a substitute for the 2-0 win over Serbia on Thursday but returns to the starting side in Tirana.

Thomas Tuchel has made seven changes from the win over Serbia, as England conclude their World Cup qualification campaign in Tirana. There’s a debut for Bayer Leverkusen Jarell Quansah, with the 22-year-old replacing Reece James at right-back.

Adam Wharton also starts in midfield as Tuchel runs the rule over some fresh faces, with qualification to next summer’s tournament already assured. John Stones, Nico O’Reilly, Declan Rice and Harry Kane are the only players to retain their places from Thursday night.
