As talk begins to build around England’s possible squad for the next World Cup, early betting markets are already starting to give an indication of who is most likely to be involved when the tournament comes around. Fans looking to place their bets and stay up to date with the latest odds, squad predictions, and tournament insights can do so through a dedicated betting platform bizbet.
While it is still early in the selection process, some interesting patterns are already emerging – including where Jude Bellingham currently sits in the latest England World Cup squad odds.
Despite becoming one of England’s standout performers in recent years, Bellingham is not currently among the top eight players in the market according to early bookmaker pricing.
The midfielder, who has established himself as a key figure for both club and country, is still strongly expected to be in contention, but the odds suggest there are some players more likely to be on the plane.
The current group of players ranked ahead of him includes Jordan Pickford, Harry Kane, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Marc Guehi, Ezri Konsa, Elliot Anderson and Morgan Rogers.
All eight are being priced slightly shorter at this stage, reflecting their perceived likelihood of making the final squad if current form and fitness levels continue.
Bellingham, who first made his breakthrough at Birmingham City before moving onto the European stage, has already built a reputation as one of England’s most influential midfielders.
His performances in major international tournaments and at club level have made him a regular fixture in England discussions, and few would doubt his importance to the national setup.
However, early odds often reflect more than just reputation. Factors such as positional competition, recent form, tactical fit, and squad balance all play a role in how bookmakers assess selection likelihoods at this stage.
In midfield in particular, England continue to have a growing pool of options, with both established internationals and emerging talents pushing for inclusion.
Bellingham will almost certainly be in Thomas Tuchel’s final World Cup squad, barring any injury issues.
Real Madrid are no longer in the Champions League and are highly unlikely to turn things around in La Liga in the final few weeks of the season before the World Cup.
The midfielder only recently returned from a hamstring injury though, so there will be one eye on simply avoiding any injury setback.
