Real Madrid’s rising star Jude Bellingham has been sidelined for a month after a training injury, dealing a blow to the team’s early-season momentum. The 21-year-old midfielder suffered a right leg muscle injury during practice on Friday, confirmed by the club’s medical team. 🩹
Bellingham, who joined Real Madrid last summer, quickly became a fan favorite with 23 goals and 14 assists in his debut season, powering the team to a historic La Liga 🏆 and Champions League double. His absence will leave a gap in the squad as they aim to defend their titles.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti remained upbeat despite the setback: \"We’ll evaluate [Bellingham’s injury] and work on solutions.\" The team drew 1-1 with Mallorca in their La Liga opener, with Ancelotti admitting they \"lacked balance.\" ⚡
All eyes now turn to Kylian Mbappé, who is set to make his Bernabéu debut against Real Valladolid this weekend. Fans are left wondering: Can Mbappé and the squad’s \"Galácticos 2.0\" lineup—Rodrygo, Vinícius Jr., and Co.—step up in Bellingham’s absence? 💬
