England boss Thomas Tuchel addressed Jude Bellingham's reaction to being substituted in their 2-0 World Cup qualification win over Albania on Sunday (November 16).

Harry Kane’s brace earned England a place at next year’s World Cup, becoming the first European side to qualify without conceding a single goal.

Bellingham, 22, was back with the squad for the first time since June but was largely ineffective in the win over Albania.

Tuchel ended up replacing the Real Madrid superstar with Morgan Rogers in the 84th minute, and the midfielder was visibly frustrated.

Speaking after the game, Tuchel said: "Yeah he didn't like it but no-one likes it. 

“But that's how it is, Morgan (Rogers) didn't like to be out and didn't deserve to be out but that was the decision. Jude was also on a yellow card, and I made the decision before the second goal and the decision stands."
