NO ALARM OVER BELL

Hendo expects 'elite mentality Jude to win back place in England squad

- BY JOHN CROSS

JORDAN HENDERSON believes Jude Bellingham has an "elite mentality" - and will earn his place back in the England squad.

Henderson is Bellingham's closest ally in the England set-up as they have formed a special bond. Three Lions boss Thomas Tuchel caused a shock by leaving Real Madrid star Bellingham out of the squad to face Wales and Latvia.

But Henderson insists Bellingham makes England a better team. And also that any notion the 22-year-old has a big ego is misplaced and he is a "world-class person".

"What Jude (above) has achieved in his career so far, at such a young age, doesn't just happen. He has got an elite mentality," said Henderson.
