Contributes in four goals
Bellingham scored a goal and delivered three assists in Saturday's 7-0 win over Croatia.
Analysis: The Real Madrid playmaker gave England a 2-0 lead with a tap-in from close range following an assist from Anthony Gordon, but he also set up goals from Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka and Morgan Rogers. He has one goal and four assists in the current international window and has been in fine form for Real Madrid as well, tallying three goals and two assists in seven LaLiga appearances (six starts).
Overcomes niggle to start Saturday
Bellingham (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Saturday's Nations League match against Croatia.
Analysis: Bellingham has been cleared to start against Croatia after a late niggle in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Czech Republic left him a slight doubt. He came off the bench in Prague with his minutes managed because of the quick turnaround, and he now returns to the No. 10 role behind Harry Kane with Bukayo Saka and Anthony Gordon either side of him. His place in the XI suggests there is no lingering concern, and he should be in line for a full workload if the issue does not flare up.
Picks up late niggle
Bellingham picked up a niggle late in Tuesday's 2-0 Nations League win over the Czech Republic, but coach Thomas Tuchel is hopeful he will be available for Saturday's trip to Croatia, per ESPN. "He had a little niggle at the end of the match, hopefully it is nothing serious and he is available for Croatia."
Analysis: Bellingham completed 90 minutes against Spain on Saturday and assisted England's opening goal before his workload was reduced in Prague due to the short turnaround. He is now being assessed ahead of Saturday's meeting with Croatia in Rijeka, with his availability dependent on how the niggle responds over the next few days.
Scores in win
Bellingham scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 4-1 victory over Rayo Vallecano.
Analysis: Bellingham was one of the stars of the World Cup, and he added another LaLiga goal to his tally on Saturday. The midfielder should have plenty of opportunities to score against Elche, a side that has conceded 13 times in LaLiga action this season.
Another upstanding perforrmance
Bellingham scored one goal to go with five shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 4-0 victory over Malaga.
Analysis: Bellingham delivered another world‑class outing for Real Madrid on Sunday, scoring once while adding two shots on target, two tackles won, and a key pass as the team secured a clean sheet. He's now been on the scoresheet in all three of his La Liga appearances, totaling two goals and two assists while consistently impacting play on both sides of the pitch.
Brace of assists
Bellingham assisted twice to go with one shot (zero on goal) and four chances created in Wednesday's 4-1 victory against Real Sociedad.
Analysis: Bellingham returned to the scoresheet, striking twice in Wednesday's four‑goal showing. He's picked up right where he left off after his World Cup form, opening the league campaign with one goal, two assists, six key passes, two shots on target, and six successful dribbles through the first two matches.
Nets first RM goal of season
Bellingham scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Espanyol.
Analysis: Bellingham picked up where he left off after his stellar World Cup campaign this summer, scoring his team's first goal of the season. He also recorded two shots on target, two key passes, and a tackle won across 80 minutes Saturday. With a reinforced starting XI around him, the midfielder should continue to be a reliable fantasy option, contributing not only through goals and assists but also with his playmaking ability and ball-winning presence in midfield for Los Blancos.
Reports for preseason
Bellingham has reported for Real Madrid preseason following his time off after the World Cup, the club announced.
Analysis: Bellingham scored seven goals and added one assist across eight appearances for England at the World Cup, a strong showing that carries momentum into the new season. His 2025-26 club campaign was solid but disrupted, with six goals and four assists in 28 LaLiga matches as a shoulder issue cost him significant time. When fully healthy, he remains one of the most dynamic attacking midfielders in the world, and the ceiling under new coach Jose Mourinho is considerable, even if his exact role and fitness carry some uncertainty entering the campaign. Bellingham is expected to build up his fitness as preseason continues.
Scores off bench in win
Bellingham scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 6-4 victory over France.
Analysis: Bellingham closed his outstanding World Cup numbers with his seventh goal of the tournament, achieving a fantastic dribbling play after stealing a ball in midfield during stoppage time Saturday. Other than leading his side in scoring, he showed his value as a complete midfielder capable of threatening the opposing goal from behind the striker. This should be a big boost for him ahead of the next club season, considering that last year he failed to reach his full potential due to injuries and lack of consistency.
Held quiet in loss
Bellingham generated one tackle (one won), four clearances and one interception in Wednesday's 2-1 loss against Argentina.
Analysis: Bellingham couldn't get involved in the attack throughout Wednesday's clash, doing most of his work defensively as England settled in and tried to park the bus during the second half. Bellingham was good in his own end, but he wasn't nearly as impressive as he is going forward. He's now relegated to the third-place decider against France on Saturday.
Logs another brace Saturday
Bellingham scored two goals to go with five shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Norway.
Analysis: Bellingham extended his notable run of form with a couple of finishes inside the box that gave his team a comeback win in first-half stoppage time and the 93rd minute, respectively, of the World Cup quarterfinals match. The midfielder is now tied with Harry Kane as England's top scorer with six goals, and his lone assist ranks him third on the squad throughout the tournament. Bellingham has impressed in a No. 10 position, not only for his extensive attacking impact, but also for his dribbling and ground duel success, so he'll remain a strong all-around asset in the final rounds.
Records brace in victory
Bellingham scored two goals to go with three shots (three on goal) in Sunday's 3-2 victory versus Mexico.
Analysis: Bellingham set his national team on the path to the quarterfinals with a brilliant first half, finding the net via diving header in the 36th minute, and doubling his tally after a combination with Harry Kane in the 38th. The midfielder added 10 duels won and four successful dribbles to a superb all-around stat line. After a subpar club season, he has reached top form at the international level, totaling four goals and one assist across five games played so far. He should continue to be relied on in the next round given his versatility and capacity to threaten the opposing goal from behind the striker.
Held scoreless
Bellingham recorded three shots (three on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 2-1 victory against the DR Congo.
Analysis: Bellingham couldn't get on the scoresheet during Wednesday's win, but he was still brilliant throughout the match. The attacking midfielder created a pair of chances and put three shots on goal, but just couldn't find the back of the net. Bellingham remains one of the best players in the world and a major part of England's hopes for a deep run in the World Cup.
Nets first goal, assists
Bellingham scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and four chances created in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Panama.
Analysis: Bellingham broke the deadlock for England, scoring in the 62nd minute for his second goal of the tournament while also assisting Harry Kane's goal. He closes the group stage with two goals and one assist, maintaining an 82 percent pass accuracy while creating six chances and winning 18 duels. The Real Madrid midfielder has been one of the standout attacking forces of the competition so far, performing at the level expected of him and positioning himself as a crucial figure for England's push through the knockout rounds.
Limited production in draw
Bellingham registered one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 0-0 draw versus Ghana.
Analysis: Bellingham fell below expectations during the second group-stage match, losing six of his eight ground duels and generating little threat from a No. 10 position. After scoring a goal in his previous outing, the versatile midfielder earned another start but was replaced by Morgan Rogers in the 73rd minute. Despite the deficient performance, Bellingham will be expected to serve as one of England's most complete assets in future fixtures and could eventually benefit from the talent around him to get involved in the score sheet.
Nets goal
Bellingham notched one goal on three shots to go along with one chance created in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Croatia.
Analysis: Bellingham was an influential piece of Wednesday night's group stage victory, as the midfielder came through with a goal in the 47th minute. He would nearly add another on his three shots, but was denied also adding a cross and a chance created in the attack. He will also benefit from his usual defense duties, recording a clearance, an intercpetion and three tackles in his own half of the pitch.
England's difference-maker
Bellingham has been named in England's World Cup squad and is expected to be the most important and influential player at manager Thomas Tuchel's disposal, the creative and physical force that gives England a genuine chance of winning the tournament.
Analysis: Bellingham wrapped up a season that saw him battle back from shoulder surgery to make 28 La Liga appearances for Real Madrid, tallying six goals and four assists despite missing the opening stretch of the campaign and still establishing himself as one of the league's premier midfielders. The star midfielder combines relentless work rate, aggressive pressing, elite technical ability and the clutch mentality that helped him find the net at the 2022 World Cup, while his knack for dropping deep to dictate play before surging into dangerous attacking areas makes him the most complete and threatening midfielder in England's squad. Bellingham heads into the World Cup as the player with the potential to shape England's entire tournament, serve as Harry Kane's primary playmaker and help bring home the nation's first world title since 1966.
Scores stunning goal
Bellingham scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 4-2 win over Athletic. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 20th minute.
Analysis: Bellingham doubled Real Madrid's lead in the 41st minute, letting Thiago Pitarch's chipped pass drop before meeting it first time with a left-footed half-volley that flew past Alex Padilla. He closes out the La Liga season with six goals and four assists in 28 appearances (22 starts), a modest return by his own standards after a shoulder injury disrupted the opening stretch of his campaign. Bellingham will now link up with England's 2026 World Cup squad after being named in Friday's selection.
Doubles lead on Thursday
Bellingham scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Thursday's 2-0 victory over Oviedo.
Analysis: Bellingham replaced Aurelien Tchouameni in the 64th minute and scored in the 80th minute, assisted by Kylian Mbappe. Bellingham recorded 24 passes and made a clearance. He has now contributed to two goals across the last three games.
Assists second in 2-0 win
Bellingham assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 win against Espanyol.
Analysis: Bellingham assisted Vinicius Jr to put Real Madrid 2-0 ahead in the game that finished at that scoreline. This is the midfielder's fourth assist of the season and he has started five games in a row, having gone through a long period of absence. He has taken three shots in each of the last three games and created a chance in each of these games.
