ENGLAND fans have been left fuming by Jude Bellingham’s unusual behaviour against Albania.
The Real Madrid star was brought in to start after coming on as a substitute against Serbia on Thursday.
He struggled to make an impact in the first half against Albania although he showed some nice touches in midfield.
At half-time he took the unusual step of swapping shirts with Albania star Kristjan Asllani.
The Albania No8 was keen to get hold of Bellingham’s shirt, and asked for a swap as soon as the referee blew for half-time.
Fans were surprised by the incident, with one saying: “Bellingham swapping shirts at half-time???? Do it at full-time! Stop this nonsense!”
Another added: “Bellingham and an Albanian player swapping shirts at half time in a qualifier (I know its a nothing game). At least wait for full-time.”
A third wrote: “Bellingham swapping shirts at HT… games gone.”
And another commented: “Bellingham swapping shirts at halftime, get that gone 🤮”
Bellingham, 22, was starting his first England game since June having been left out of the previous squad.

He also missed September fixtures against Andorra and Serbia with a shoulder injury.
Bellingham’s omission from last month’s squad sparked fresh rumours of a rift between the pair, months after Tuchel described some of Bellingham’s on-field behaviour as “repulsive”.
