Real Madrid have been handed an injury concern after Jude Bellingham suffered a hamstring scare during their latest match, casting doubt over his immediate availability at a crucial point in the season.
Bellingham was forced to stop during the game after feeling discomfort, with the midfielder appearing to struggle as he tried to continue. Madrid’s medical staff checked on him on the pitch before a decision was made over whether he could carry on.
The England international has been central to Carlo Ancelotti’s plans, and any time on the sidelines would come at a difficult moment for the club as they juggle their La Liga and Champions League ambitions.
Real Madrid are now set to assess the extent of the problem, with further checks expected to clarify the situation. The club will be hoping the issue is minor, with a demanding run of fixtures ahead and Bellingham’s importance to the team clear.
The setback also raises concerns for England in the build-up to the World Cup, with Bellingham facing a race against time if the injury proves serious.
