Bellingham was dissatisfied with being replaced in the national team. Former British boxing champion Anthony Joshua talked about the matter.

In last weekend's World Cup qualifying match, England defeated Albania 2-0 away from home. Bellingham appeared dissatisfied when he was substituted in the 84th minute, which earned him some criticism, with some even saying he should be left out of the national team squad. The 36-year-old former boxing champion Anthony Joshua said: "Tell me... what happened to Bellingham? Why shouldn't he be selected for the England team?"

Anthony Joshua then said: "But why? I don't know the specific situation. But everyone has his own character. If he doesn't want to talk, let him; if he wants to communicate, then talk. I don't know exactly what happened, I don't pay attention to football, I pay attention to boxing."

Then Anthony Yo. Shua said: "What? Negative? The most important thing for him is to focus on the performance on the court and do his job on behalf of the country. No matter what you say, that is what we need to focus on. He may just focus on his goals, and most people do not understand what it takes to be in Bellingham's position. Bellingham is under tremendous pressure every day, and this may be just one of those days. Let us focus on his performance on the court, that is what we need to focus on."
