Henderson certain Bellingham will return

JORDAN HENDERSON says Jude Bellingham has an “elite mentality” and will earn his place back in the England squad.

Henderson is Bellingham’s closest ally in the national team setup having formed a special bond.

England 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 them a better team and insisted any notion that the 22-year-old, left, has a big ego is misplaced and that he is a “world-class person”.
