England manager Gareth Southgate has high hopes for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham.

The 17-year-old won his second England cap by coming on as half-time substitute in the 5-0 win over San Marino at Wembley on Thursday.

"He's a player we think is going to be an England international in the future," Southgate said when asked if Bellingham would be going to the Euros.

"We feel that in that area of the pitch, although we were very happy with everybody tonight, we are a little bit short in numbers.

"For us to help develop him, to put him into games and to try and get him with the team, with the development he is getting at Dortmund as well, we're hoping we can play a part in fast-tracking him into the group."
