Gary Neville says Jude Bellingham is England’s star and must start at the World Cup.<\/p>\n

The Three Lions will play one more warm-up game this week before the real competition begins on June 17th in Dallas against Croatia.<\/p>\n

Manager Thomas Tuchel is keeping his cards close to his chest when it comes to selection, even though a number of players are guaranteed to start.<\/p>\n

That is no longer the case for Real Madrid superstar Bellingham, who faces stiff competition from Aston Villa forward Morgan Rodgers.<\/p>\n

Tuchel started Rodgers in Saturday night’s 1-0 win against New Zealand, but Bellingham impressed after coming off the bench. But while the debate continues over who will qualify for the match against Croatia, it is a no-brainer for Neville.<\/p>\n

“I love Morgan Rogers. I love him. But let’s be clear, Jude Bellingham is not a sub. He’s not a sub. He’s not a sub. He’s a star. That’s it. He’s a star,” Neville told the Telegraph.<\/p>\n

However, Neville’s Sky Sports and Stick to Football colleagues are less certain, instead believing that, barring a late-game injury, Bellingham will start the World Cup on the bench.<\/p>\n

He said on Overlap, provided by Sky Bet: “I think Tuchel is strong enough and he’s already shown how he deals with Jude Bellingham. He left him out of some teams. There’s a lot being said. There’s obviously work to be done on the relationship there, but unless Morgan Rodgers gets injured in the warm-up game with Jude Bellingham starting the first game, I don’t see how things will go.”<\/p>\n

Tuchel himself has admitted there is still a fight left for Bellingham, making it clear that he is one of 14 to 15 players in the starting XI vying for a spot.<\/p>\n

“He’s one of the starters and I know he’s one of the starters, but we have 14 or 15 potential starters. Those roles can change all the time, but I think we have about 14 or 15 good starters right now. And Jude is one of them.”<\/p>\n

But regardless of who is ultimately chosen as England’s number 10, Carragher believes it could be a difficult tournament for England. After their opening game against Croatia, the Three Lions will face Panama and Ghana in the group stage, before a daunting battle for the latter stages.<\/p>\n

And Carragher fears England will fall below the standards achieved under Gareth Southgate, who reached the World Cup semi-finals and two European Championship finals.<\/p>\n

The former Liverpool defender added: “And I’m a bit worried that Gareth Southgate is going to be valued a lot more over the next five to 10 years because I’m a big fan of Southgate in terms of what he’s done for England and what people are saying about his underachievement and what he should have done in this team.”<\/p>\n

“To be completely honest, I think England will be tough in this competition. If you look at the squad that has been selected, there are a lot of good players, but I would classify many of them as good players in the Premier League. Looking at all of them, I don’t think it’s representative players. Maybe it’s just the current state of the team at the moment. So I can’t say I’m the most optimistic at the moment.”<\/p>\n
