News Flash: Jude Bellingham Injury News
Bellingham’s injury woes were initiated by a foot problem that saw him sit out Real Madrid’s third La Liga game and England’s UEFA Nations League fixtures in September. Manager Carlo Ancelotti slowly eased him back into the team after a three-week break by including him in two successive games against VfB Stuttgart and Espanyol.
While the foot was not an issue in the Espanyol match, Ancelotti reveals that Bellingham had aggravated a shoulder injury again during the match and it had to be treated. The midfielder, for example, will likely go on using the protective padding he donned to protect the injury.

Similarly to Bellingham, Ancelotti has heavily criticized UEFA and FIFA for their tight fixture list and will be making sure his star player takes breaks throughout the season. Bellingham could begin on the sidelines of Real Madrid’s next La Liga match against Alaves on September 25.
According to Marca, Bellingham has been rejecting calls to sit out the match to recover his fitness fully. While Real Madrid consciously decided not to operate on the forward during the summer, claiming that the problem had been fixed, they may reconsider the surgery now. Surgery is still a possibility but the player would have to sit out for a long time through a regular operation.
