Real Madrid Star Jude Bellingham Sidelined Until March! Will Miss Key Matches – When Will He Return?

In a devastating blow to Real Madrid fans, rising star Jude Bellingham is set to be sidelined until early March following a sprained ankle injury during the team’s recent La Liga triumph over Girona.

Real Madrid to cop up without Bellingham in upcoming Fixtures

The 20-year-old midfielder, who dazzled with two goals in the match, was forced off the field after 57 minutes at the Bernabeu, leaving supporters holding their breath.

Medical tests confirmed the extent of Bellingham’s injury, ruling him out of crucial upcoming fixtures, including the first leg of the Champions League last-16 tie against RB Leipzig on February 13.

With La Liga battles against Rayo Vallecano, Sevilla, and Valencia also on the horizon, Madrid will feel the absence of their dynamic playmaker keenly.

Despite initial hopes for a swift recovery, Bellingham’s absence adds to Madrid’s mounting injury concerns, with defensive stalwart Antonio Rudiger also set to be sidelined for two weeks due to a muscular injury.

With key players like Eder Militao and David Alaba also facing extended spells on the sidelines, manager Carlo Ancelotti faces a challenging period in managing his squad’s depth.

Nevertheless, there’s a glimmer of hope for Madrid fans as defender Nacho is expected to return for the crucial Champions League clash against Leipzig.
