ToggleWHAT HAPPENED?
After Bellingham helped Real Madrid win a record-extending 15th Champions League title earlier this month, he was granted a leave of absence. The midfielder missed the Three Lions' 3-0 win against Bosnia and Herzegovina and the 1-0 loss to Iceland but on Sunday, the 20-year-old was spotted at England's base, St. George's Park, once more.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
After a stunning debut season for Madrid, where he scored 23 goals and bagged 13 assists in all competitions, expectations are high for Bellingham to deliver for England at this summer's Euros. However, Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate doesn't want to put extra pressure on the youngster.
"I'm sure he is [capable of handling the pressure] but we are not putting everything on Jude. We've got a lot of good players and it is a collective thing to go and try to win this tournament," he told reporters. "He is, of course, a player with a fabulous mentality and will have a big impact on the whole group."
