TA: Bellingham will be a substitute in England s game tonight, and Rogers will continue to start at No. 10

England will have a World Cup qualifying match against Serbia at home tonight. The Athletic reports that Bellingham will start in the game, while Morgan Rogers will serve as the No. 10.

Reports indicate that Tuchel will form a strong starting lineup for tonight's game, in which Morgan Rogers will continue to serve as the No. 10, and Bellingham, who returns to the national team this month, is expected to serve as a substitute.

England have confirmed their qualification for the 2026 World Cup after last month's 5-0 victory over Latvia, but Tuchel explained at Wednesday's pre-match press conference that he will not test the team against Serbia and Albania this month.

Morgan Rogers started at No. 10 in the victory against Latvia and the friendly against Wales in October, as well as in the victory over Serbia in September. The 23-year-old has made 16 appearances for Villa this season, contributing one goal and three assists, and he also signed a new contract with the club this month.

Bellingham is often used as the No. 10 in the England team, and has also played a deeper midfield role. He was left out of October's squad, with Tuchel saying at the time that the midfielder needed to find his rhythm at Real Madrid after missing the early months of the season due to shoulder surgery.

At Wednesday's press conference, Tuchel said that Rodgers and Bellingham were competing for the No. 10 position in the team. Tuchel said: "Instead of just 'finding a position' for the best players to play, maybe it is better to let everyone play in their most suitable position and then compete in that position. At the moment, the competition is between the two of them."

"They are friends, so this can also be a friendly competition. They don't They must be rivals, not necessarily hostile to each other. They respect each other and are friends, but they are currently competing for the same position. Can they play at the same time? But that requires a different formation, and now is not the time to change our structure."

Tuchel also explained that under the current formation of the England team, Bellingham, Foden and Kane cannot play at the same time. In an interview with TalkSport, he was asked about the issue of three players starting at the same time, and replied: "Currently, if we keep the current structure, they cannot play at the same time. Theoretically they can, but not under the current structure. That would destroy the balance we have formed and is not in line with our system, because our wingers are players who specialize in their respective positions. Our current system is a No. 6, a No. 8, a No. 10 and a No. 9."
