JUDE BELLINGHAM was called out publicly by team-mate Emre Can following Borussia Dortmund's defeat to Bayern Munich.

Die Schwarzgelben went down 4-2 on Saturday thanks to a nightmare howler from goalkeeper Gregor Kobel.

The result saw reigning champs Bayern leapfrog Dortmund into top spot in the Bundesliga with eight games to go.

And during the game, there were accusations Bellingham, 19, showed discontent and visibly got frustrated with his fellow players, sparking an on-field row with Can.

That prompted questions surrounding the England star's attitude from ESPN to the ex-Liverpool man during his live TV interview.

Can, 29, said: "Jude is still young. He still has a lot to learn.

"On the pitch, here in front of 70,000 or 80,000 spectators, there are a few things you're not allowed to do.

"You need good body language when a team-mate makes a mistake or doesn't see you. That's what we have to learn as a team."

Bild add that there is tension building beneath the surface between Bellingham and his team-mates.

The German newspaper reports various Dortmund players have been critical of Bellingham's antics, his alleged "diva-like traits" and the way he likes to take in the adulation on his own from the Yellow Wall after wins.

It also states that the ex-Birmingham star is prone to snapping when he is criticised.

For the next two months, though, the focus is on trying to win the Bundesliga for the first time since 2011-12 and end Bayern's ten-year vice-like grip on the title.

However, after that, Bellingham is expected to leave the club with a £130million-plus transfer on the cards.

His contract runs until 2025 but he is unlikely to sign a new deal in order to secure a move to one of the European heavyweights.

Real Madrid and Manchester City are leading the race with Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United all set to miss out.

Bellingham's dad Mark held talks with Los Blancos last month before a reported £123m opening bid was tabled as the Bernabeu giants prepare for life after Toni Kroos and Luka Modric.
