Hit in the ankle against Girona (4-0), Jude Bellingham suffers from a severe sprain, and will miss the trip to Leipzig in the Champions League.
This is another hard blow for Real Madrid. Faced with a cascade of injuries since the start of the season, particularly in defense, the club from the Spanish capital has now lost its top scorer, Jude Bellingham. The England international injured his left ankle, which turned twice on Saturday against Girona (4-0). And the new data this Sunday from the Merengues are not very good.
“Following examinations carried out today by Real Madrid Medical Services, our player Jude Bellingham has been diagnosed with a high-grade left ankle sprain. Evolution pending »indicates the White House in its medical press release.
At least two weeks of absence
It is therefore a fairly severe sprain from which Bellingham is suffering, and if Real does not give an indication of the duration of his absence, Marca estimates the unavailability of the Madrid number 5 at at least two weeks. The former Dortmund player will therefore miss the trip to Leipzig on Tuesday evening in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League, then undoubtedly the matches against Rayo Vallecano and Sevilla FC in La Liga. At the beginning of March, Real will go to Valencia (2nd) before returning against Leipzig (6th) at the Bernabeu.
Note that Real Madrid has not suffered too much from the absence of Bellingham so far this season. Without the Englishman, the Merengues’ record is five victories in five matches, with two successes against Las Palmas in La Liga, a large victory against Valencia (5-1), a 3-0 against Braga in the Champions League and a qualification quiet in La Liga against the amateurs of Arandina. It was Brahim Diaz who was started by Carlo Ancelotti each time.
