Bellingham is back in the UK as England players are reporting for duty this week, ahead of the Three Lions' World Cup qualifying fixture with Serbia.

England play Serbia at Wembley on Thursday, November 13, in their penultimate World Cup qualifier, having already made it to the finals in Mexico, Canada and the US next summer.

The start of November marked the opening day of the Frankfurt Christmas Market in Birmingham, with stalls offering everything from authentic German beer, Bratwurst and pretzels to toys, sweets and gifts.

The market, which is spread across a large area of Birmingham city centre, will run until December 24.
