A Spanish press report revealed that the management of Real Madrid does not understand the reason for calling up their player Jude Bellingham by the England national team during the recent international break, despite his non-participation.

According to the Spanish newspaper Marca, Thomas Tuchel, the coach of the England national team, decided not to rely on Bellingham either against Uruguay or Japan, despite calling him to be in the camp.

The newspaper added in its report that Real Madrid believed the player would have benefited more from staying in Madrid and training with the royal team under coach Álvaro Arbeloa.

The club confirmed that Bellingham was in good physical condition and was capable of participating in matches, which made his call-up without actual need surprising to Real Madrid.

It is noted that the English star has just returned after a long absence due to injury, making his call-up to the England national team at this time more controversial according to the club.
