Jude Bellingham is in line to start on the bench for England’s World Cup qualifier against Serbia on Thursday, with Morgan Rogers set to play in the number 10 role.

Manchester City’s Nico O’Reilly is set for his senior international debut while Marcus Rashford is poised for a place 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, 20, is in line for his full England debut at left-back following an impressive start to the season with City.

Reece James, Ezri Konsa and John Stones are expected to join O’Reilly in defence.

Barcelona forward Rashford is set to replace the injured Anthony Gordon in attack.

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

Jordan Pickford should retain his place in goal.
