Jude Bellingham named No 10 in England World Cup squad
Summary

England announced its squad numbers for the upcoming World Cup, with Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham wearing the pivotal No 10 shirt. This decision raises questions about his role under coach Thomas Tuchel, particularly in relation to Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers, who will wear No 17. Manchester City's Nico O'Reilly has been assigned No 3, reinforcing expectations he will be the first-choice left-back. Other notable assignments include Jordan Henderson with No 14 and Marcus Rashford donning No 11 after his season at Barcelona. The selections suggest a lineup strategy as England prepares for the tournament this summer.
