Bellingham starts on bench against Serbia

Jude Bellingham was named on the bench for England's World Cup qualifier against Serbia on Thursday, with Morgan Rogers in the number 10 role.

Manchester City's Nico O'Reilly, 20, will make his senior international debut at left-back while Marcus Rashford plays in attack.

Bellingham, 22, has missed the past four internationals - partly due to a shoulder injury - but was recalled to the squad for this week's games against Serbia and Albania, with England having already qualified for next summer's tournament.

England manager Thomas Tuchel told the BBC on Wednesday that Aston Villa midfielder Rogers was carrying a slight hamstring issue and would require a late fitness check.

Rogers has excelled in deputising for Real Madrid's Bellingham and Tuchel faces a clear selection dilemma before the World Cup next year.

O'Reilly makes his full England debut following an impressive start to the season with City.

Reece James, Ezri Konsa and John Stones join O'Reilly in defence.

Barcelona forward Rashford replaces the injured Anthony Gordon in attack.

Declan Rice and Elliott Anderson continue in midfield alongside Rogers while Bukayo Saka and Harry Kane get the nod in attack.

Jordan Pickford retains his place in goal.

Earlier on Thursday, it was revaled that uncapped Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott had been left out of the squad to face Serbia.

Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi has also not made the 23-man party as the centre-back continues to recover from a foot injury.

Scott was handed his first senior call-up by Tuchel last week following an excellent start to the season with the Cherries.

England travel to Albania for their final qualification game on Sunday.

On Tuesday, Scott said being called up was a "dream come true".
