Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham faced an unexpected setback during training when he suffered a muscular injury in his right leg. The club confirmed this news and revealed that he would likely be out of action until mid-September, following the international break.
This injury comes at a crucial time for Madrid, as they are set to play their first home match of the season against Real Valladolid. Bellingham’s absence will undoubtedly be felt on the field, especially after his impressive performances last season.
Despite the injury setback, Real Madrid has high expectations for the 2024-25 season, particularly after the addition of Kylian Mbappé to their squad. The team is eager to build on their previous successes in LaLiga and the Champions League.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed his disappointment over dropping points in their previous game against Mallorca. He acknowledged the need for improvement in the team’s balance and emphasized the importance of finding a clear solution to their challenges.
Ancelotti addressed concerns about fitting forward Rodrygo into the team alongside Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior, and Bellingham. He reassured fans that Rodrygo is happy at the club and denied any issues with team chemistry.
The injury to Jude Bellingham serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of sports and the need for teams to adapt to unforeseen circumstances. Real Madrid will need to come together as a unit to overcome this setback and continue their pursuit of success in the upcoming season.
