Thomas Tuchel ‘didn’t want to risk’ Jude Bellingham red as England beat Latvia - The Real Madrid midfielder was substituted after a mistimed challenge on Raivis Jurkovskis while already on a yellow card.

Thomas Tuchel said he subbed Jude Bellingham to save him from a red card that could have turned the World Cup qualifier against lowly-ranked Latvia on its head.

Having already been booked in the first half, Bellingham looked fortunate to escape a second yellow for a mis-timed challenge on Raivis Jurkovskis.
