England midfielder Jude Bellingham has lost the incredible form he had at Real Madrid, and Gareth Southgate intends to speak with him.
Bellingham struggles with his form for England.
Southgate will undertake individual talks with the midfielder. England will face Slovakia in the round of 16.
Bellingham has been in great form since joining Real Madrid last summer, leading the club to a La Liga championship and its 15th Champions League win. However, as the Three Lions struggled in the Euro 2024 group stages, Southgate’s side has not shown the same form heading into the tournament this summer.
When asked by the media if he would speak with Bellingham, Southgate responded: “those Messages should be shared with him rather than plastered all over the newspapers.” England only won one game in the Euros’ group stage, against Serbia, thanks to Bellingham’s goal.
However, in the last two games against Denmark and Slovenia, the Real Madrid midfielder has struggled to find form. Bellingham did not take a single shot or make a critical pass in their most recent encounter versus Slovenia.
England advanced to the knockout stages as the top nation in their group and will now face Slovakia in the round of 16 on Sunday, June 30, with Bellingham certain to start once more.
