England midfielder Jude Bellingham

England midfielder, Jude Bellingham, believes the national team is better connected heading into this summer’s World Cup than it was during its run to the Euro 2024 final.

Bellingham, who played a key role as England reached the final before losing to Spain, reflected on the squad’s experience and said lessons had been learned from the tournament.

As reported by BBC Sport on Friday, Bellingham was quoted as saying, “At the Euros we got some things a little bit wrong off the pitch,” Bellingham said on England’s Lions’ Den show.

“I don’t feel like the group is connected as well as it could have for a number of reasons. Expectation was part of it.”
