Jude Bellingham to miss UCL clash after suffering dislocation on left shoulder

The English midfielder could miss some matches for Real Madrid

Real Madrid sensation Jude Bellingham has suffered a dislocation on his left shoulder during LaLiga game against Rayo Vallecano.

In the goalless draw played against Vallecano, Bellingham slipped in the 11th minute while controlling the ball. He received treatment on the field and was looking in pain. Rodrygo was warming up while Bellingham was receiving treatment.

Jude Bellingham continued on the field and came in the second half with a strapping on his left shoulder. He looked a bit uncomfortable on the field and Real Madrid were held to a goalless draw against Rayo Vallcano.

“Bellingham has a problem with his shoulder,” Ancelotti said. “He will undergo medical tests [on Monday] I hope he can play on Wednesday against Braga.”

Any possible injury to Bellingham would come as a major blow to Ancelotti’s team.

Jude Bellingham at Real Madrid

The English midfielder has been in tremendous form since joining the club in the summer from Borussia Dortmund. He has appeared in 14 matches and was involved in 16 goals (13 goals and 3 assists).

The 20-year-old midfielder won the Kopa Trophy 2023 last week ahead of Jamal Musiala of Bayern Munich and Pedri of Barcelona.

Real Madrid had to settle for their second draw of the season and that too in the last three matches. They now sit second in the league table behind Girona. Barcelona are third and only two points behind Madrid. City rivals Atletico Madrid are fourth in the LaLiga table but have a game in hand.

Bellingham is the best player for Madrid so far and this injury could keep him out for a couple of weeks. He will undergo scans and Madrid will hope that he recovers quickly. The Spanish giants face Braga next in the midweek Champions League fixture.
