England recall Saka but Bellingham and Foden miss out

England manager Gareth Southgate has decided to recall Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka to the national team for the upcoming international fixtures, but has left out both Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden.

Saka had been in fine form for his club and earned a call-up after impressing in the Premier League. His versatility and attacking threat were seen as valuable additions to the squad.

However, Southgate opted to leave out Bellingham and Foden, citing the need to balance the squad and give opportunities to other players.

Bellingham had been a key player for Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, while Foden had been impressive for Manchester City in the Premier League.

Southgate acknowledged the difficult decision but emphasized the need to make tough choices in order to create a cohesive and competitive squad.

The England manager also pointed out that both Bellingham and Foden are still young and have bright futures ahead of them, hinting that they could be called up in the future.

The upcoming fixtures will be crucial for England as they prepare for the World Cup qualifiers and the European Championships.

Southgate will be hoping that the squad he has selected will be able to deliver strong performances and secure positive results in the upcoming matches.
