Real Madrid are increasingly concerned that Jude Bellingham’s latest injury could sideline him for longer than first feared, dealing Carlo Ancelotti another major headache at a key point in the season.
Bellingham picked up the problem during Madrid’s recent outing and has since been assessed by the club’s medical staff. The midfielder has been managing issues in recent weeks, but this setback has raised fresh doubts over how quickly he can return to full fitness.
Madrid had initially hoped the England international would only miss a short spell, yet there is now growing fear behind the scenes that his recovery could take longer than expected. The club are monitoring his progress closely as they plan their upcoming fixtures without one of their most influential players.
Bellingham has been central to Madrid’s campaign, and any extended absence would be a blow. Ancelotti’s side have already had to deal with injuries across the squad, and this latest development threatens to stretch options further as the schedule intensifies.
For now, Madrid are waiting to see how Bellingham responds in the coming days, with his availability set to depend on his recovery rather than a fixed return date. The club remain cautious, aware that rushing him back could risk making the problem worse.
