Overview

• Thomas Tuchel left Jude Bellingham out of his latest England squad for the Wales friendly and the World Cup qualifier against Latvia.
• Gordon said Bellingham should be an automatic pick when fit and playing regularly for Real Madrid, noting the midfielder’s recent injury layoff.
• The Newcastle winger said he is operating with a "paranoid" edge to secure a World Cup berth as competition for places intensifies.
• Gordon highlighted his display in last month’s 5-0 win in Belgrade as a step forward but said he has shown only "50 per cent" of his potential for England.
• He described Harry Kane as a "genius" whose playmaking suits his game, adding that he frequently seeks the captain’s advice to improve.
