Injury Setback: Real Madrid Manager Confirms Fitness Concerns for Jude Bellingham
Real Madrid’s performance against Rayo Vallecano at Santiago Bernabeu was less than stellar, ending in a scoreless tie. Carlo Ancelotti’s squad dominated possession and had numerous scoring opportunities, but they were unable to break down the visitors’ defense. Los Blancos are now in second place in La Liga, behind Girona, who have surged to the top of the standings. Who could have anticipated that coming at the outset of the season? Nobody.
Lost points weren’t the only thing worrying Real Madrid after the game. Even Jude Bellingham appeared to notice something was wrong.
Bellingham has been the talisman for Real Madrid this season. Therefore, the team won’t want him to miss too much time due to injury.
Ancelotti has stated that the Englishman would be undergoing medical testing for his shoulder injury. After the game, Real Madrid reportedly commented (as cited by GOAL):
“Bellingham has a problem with his shoulder. He will undergo medical tests tomorrow. I hope he can play on Wednesday against Braga.”
Bellingham has an injury, according to Real Madrid’s manager.
The full scope of the problem has yet to be determined. The fact that Bellingham played the entire game against Rayo Vallecano gives hope that the injury is not significant and that he will be able to continue playing.
