Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham will miss upcoming matches due to a calf injury he sustained during training on Friday. The club confirmed that Bellingham injured the plantaris muscle in his right leg, and his recovery will be closely monitored. This means he will be unavailable for La Liga matches against Real Valladolid, Las Palmas, and Real Betis, as well as England’s Nations League games in September.
Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed the injury during a press conference, noting that Bellingham took a knock, and the medical team is evaluating his condition. Reports suggest that the midfielder could be sidelined for about a month.
Bellingham, who joined Real Madrid in 2023 from Borussia Dortmund, has quickly become a key player for the team. He also plays a vital role for the England national team and has represented his country in major international tournaments like the UEFA European Championship and the FIFA World Cup.
