Jude Bellingham

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. The issue does not currently appear serious, although Bellingham's status will depend on how he responds in training over the next few days. He remains a likely option, but a late fitness check could determine whether he starts or has his minutes managed.

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.
