Boss Gareth Southgate wants Bellingham, 17, in his squad for tomorrow’s Nations League clash in Belgium and Wednesday’s home game with Iceland.
This is despite the fact the teenager is unlikely to get any game time.
Bellingham, who joined Dortmund from Birmingham for £30million, said: “I’ve really enjoyed being away with the lads. I think I have learned so much.
“The manager has been great. All these superstars guiding me has been great.
“I’d have loved to have my family here but hopefully everyone enjoyed it back home.
“Now I look forward to making more memories.”
Meanwhile, Jordan Pickford will return in goal for England tomorrow — winning his 29th cap against Belgium.
The Everton man has been publicly criticised by Three Lions keeper coach Martyn Margetson.
Margetson, who used to work with Pickford at Everton, claimed the 26- year-old has a few basic weaknesses.
They include having his hands too low, while sometimes making the wrong decisions.
Yet Pickford has taken Margetson’s comments on the chin and has impressed Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate in training.
