Jude Bellingham is reportedly given 'special treatment' by the FA, with details emerging following Tuesday night's 3-1 defeat to Senegal.
The Three Lions went ahead at the City Ground when Harry Kane found the net in the seventh minute of the match.
However, Senegal came roaring back to secure a well-deserved victory in Nottingham following goals from Ismaila Sarr, Habib Diarra and Cheikh Sabaly.
Towards the end of the contest, Bellingham was left furious after he saw a goal disallowed.

The 21-year-old's temper flared up - not for the first time - with Thomas Tuchel later saying his own mother finds the midfielder's attitude 'repulsive' at times.
Now, according to the Daily Mail, Bellingham is the subject of 'special treatment' behind the scenes.
Unlike the rest of his team-mates, the former Birmingham and Borussia Dortmund star is never asked to speak to the press.
The report says this decision 'hasn't been well-received' by other England players, who are unhappy that the rules are different when it comes to the youngster.

It's also claimed the FA have spent 'five years dancing around Bellingham and his father' in order to keep the player sweet.
He is widely considered to be England's most talented player and has already enjoyed a stellar career for someone his age.
When it comes to the international scene, Bellingham has made 43 appearances for his country already.
The Real Madrid star has netted six times, with a brilliant overheard kick against Slovakia at last summer's European Championships particularly memorable.

While Tuchel said his mother finds Bellingham's attitude 'repulsive', he did lavish praise on the England star.
"I think he has a certain something. I think he brings an edge, which we welcome and which is needed if we want to achieve big things," he said.
"It needs to be channelled. The edge needs to be channelled toward the opponent, towards our goal and not to intimidate team-mates, or to be over aggressive to team-mates or referees.

"But [channel it] towards opponents, yes, and always towards the solution, meaning towards winning.
"We are on that, yes. He has the fire. I don't want to dim this down. He should play with this kind of fire, that's his strength.
"But the fire comes also with some attributes that can intimidate you, maybe even as a team-mate.

"You see sometimes the explosion towards referees and the anger in his game, so if he can channel this in the right way, and we can help him in this, then for sure he has the something that we need. And he has a certain edge that is hard to find."
England are next in action against Andorra on September 6 (5pm).
They'll then lock horns with Serbia three days later.
