Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham sparked injury fears after limping off in the closing minutes of Los Blancos’ 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano, but Carlo Ancelotti has reassured fans that it’s nothing serious.
The England international was replaced by Brahim Diaz just four minutes from time, appearing to be in discomfort as he made his way to the bench. Bellingham had only just returned to Real Madrid’s starting XI after serving a two-match suspension for directing explicit language at a match referee.
Ancelotti Provides Fitness Update
With crucial fixtures coming up—including a Champions League showdown against Atletico Madrid—Madridistas were left anxious about Bellingham’s fitness. However, Ancelotti moved quickly to calm concerns.
“Jude Bellingham just has a small knock, nothing serious.”
This will come as a relief for Real Madrid, who face Atletico in their UCL last-16 second leg on Wednesday, holding a 2-1 aggregate lead. They will then visit Villarreal on Saturday before the international break.
Meanwhile, England manager Gareth Southgate will be keeping a close eye on Bellingham’s condition, with the Three Lions set to play international friendlies later this month.
