Real Madrid's star midfielder, Jude Bellingham, recently suffered a high ankle sprain during their impressive victory against Girona in LaLiga. Bellingham, who scored twice in the match, was forced to leave the field before the hour mark due to the injury to his left ankle.
Following the game, Real Madrid's head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, expressed his concern for Bellingham's condition and mentioned that the player would undergo further examinations. The club confirmed the severity of the injury in a statement released on Sunday, stating that Bellingham has indeed sprained his ankle.
Unfortunately, no specific timeline for Bellingham's return has been provided by the club. However, sources suggest that he may be sidelined for the remainder of the month. This setback comes at a crucial time for Madrid, as they are set to compete in both the Champions League round-of-16 tie against RB Leipzig and a LaLiga match against Rayo Vallecano in the upcoming weeks.
Despite the injury, Bellingham's contribution to Real Madrid's success this season cannot be ignored. The talented midfielder has emerged as the team's top scorer, with an impressive tally of 20 goals in all competitions. Out of those 20 goals, 16 have come in LaLiga, highlighting his significant impact on the team's performance.
Real Madrid will now have to navigate the upcoming matches without their star midfielder, presenting a challenge for the team as they aim to maintain their lead at the top of LaLiga. The depth and versatility of their squad will undoubtedly be tested, as they look for other players to step up and fill the void left by Bellingham's absence.
As the fans anxiously wait for updates on Bellingham's recovery, it is hoped that the young England international will be back on the field soon. Real Madrid will be hoping for a speedy recovery as they continue their quest for success on multiple fronts this season.
