Jude Bellingham sent an enthusiastic message to his England teammate James Maddison after their collaboration led to a late equaliser against Belgium.
Maddison had limited playing time under England manager Gareth Southgate during the international break.
He did not feature against Brazil and only played the final 15 minutes against Belgium.
Despite his brief appearance, Maddison played a crucial role in the game by setting up Bellingham for the 95th-minute equalizer at Wembley Stadium. After the match, Maddison shared a photo of their celebration on Instagram with the caption: “Sheriff [A] Jude Bellingham.”
Great character at the death to salvage something at Wembley! Need to take that attitude into the summer.”
Bellingham was quick to reply with the message: “What a f***ing player.”
Maddison looks set to be part of England’s squad for Euro 2024 and he will be hoping his latest cameo can help convince Gareth Southgate he deserves a place in his starting XI at the tournament in Germany.
Yet the Tottenham star faces serious competition for a place in the team, with Bellingham and Declan Rice having already nailed down spots in midfield.
England are reportedly due to play friendlies against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Iceland in June before kicking off their Euro 2024 campaign against Serbia.
