Jude Bellingham, author of a goal (36th) and an assist for Arda Güller (55th) during the victory against Girona (0-3), saw his evening turn into a nightmare. Hit and writhing in pain, he was forced to give way to Dani Ceballos in the 61st minute. If the seriousness of his injury remains to be precisely assessed, his coach was keen to be reassuring.
In a post-match press conference, Carlo Ancelotti gave the first medical information on his midfielder’s injury. “Bellingham is fine. It’s a bit of fatigue, his leg… He preferred not to take any risks in the last minutes.“, he indicated. Before adding: “He’s fine, he’s available“. More fear than harm for the English player. The coach also returned to the other injury of the evening, that of Ferland Mendy, which would be of origin “muscular“.
