No chance, he played the ball and it wasn't reckless.

Playing the ball doesn’t come into it - stopping a clear GS opportunity does.  Looks like Bellingham was stretching for the ball so that wouldn’t be an obvious GS opportunity

Not a red, under DOGSO (Law 12)

 

Where a player commits an offence against an opponent within their own penalty area which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offender is cautioned if the offence was an attempt to play the ball or a challenge for the ball; in all other circumstances (e.g. holding, pulling, pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.), the offending player must be sent off.

 

Where a player denies the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by a handball offence, the player is sent off wherever the offence occurs (except a goalkeeper within their penalty area).
