Real Madrid confirmed the England international’s physical problems with a terse statement that spoke of an injury to the thin plantar muscle in his right leg. In principle, it is estimated that he will be out for about a month, so he would not return until after the international break in September.
Jude Bellingham will miss Sunday’s game against Real Valladolid. Carlo Ancelotti had anticipated his physical problems due to a knock in the press conference and the worst omens have been confirmed in the form of injury.
“Following tests carried out today on Jude Bellingham by Real Madrid’s medical team, the player has been diagnosed with an injury to the plantaris muscle in his right leg. His progress will be monitored.”
It is speculated that the England international will be out for around a month, which means that Bellingham will return to training after the classic national team break in September. Although there is never an ideal time for an injury, Real Madrid will not be entirely disadvantaged by this physical setback, as Bellingham will be able to rest after having had little time to recover from his participation in the European Championship in Germany.
The British player’s forced rest will therefore be the first of the breaks that Carlo Ancelotti had counted on for his players in the middle of the season after the European competition, the Copa America and the Olympic Games.
