Tuchel warms Bellingham still has work to do to assure World Cup start

New York, June 8 (UNI) England coach Thomas Tuchel says he is happy with Jude Bellingham's second-half display in its warm-up game against New Zealand on Saturday, but warns the Real Madrid midfielder still has work to do to assure a place in the 11 that will kick off its World Cup campaign against Croatia on June 17.

Bellingham impressed in the low-key 1-0 win, which Tuchel clearly used to give his squad minutes in the heat of the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, but the 22-year-old had to be content with coming on at halftime after Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers was preferred in the starting 11.
