Tensions were high at Real Madrid’s Valdebebas facility this morning after Jude Bellingham missed training, sparking fresh concern about a possible injury just as the La Liga title battle reaches its climax.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti confirmed Bellingham’s absence during a post-training press conference, offering limited insight into the situation. The English midfielder, who has played a crucial role in Madrid’s title campaign with 18 league goals and key performances, is reportedly experiencing discomfort after recent games.
“Jude stayed indoors for treatment as a precaution,” Ancelotti explained. “He felt something after the last match, and with big games ahead, we didn’t want to take any chances.”
This development comes at a critical stage in the season, with Real Madrid preparing for a tough away fixture and Barcelona still pushing in the title race. Bellingham missing the match would be a major setback to the team’s midfield strength and attacking options.
Ancelotti remained guarded when asked for further details, saying, “We’ll assess him tomorrow. It doesn’t seem serious, but we’re taking it day by day.”
Although the club hasn’t officially ruled Bellingham out for the weekend clash, fans are anxiously awaiting updates. His impact goes beyond goals — his leadership and clutch performances have been vital throughout the campaign.
Meanwhile, the rest of the team trained as usual. Luka Modrić and Eduardo Camavinga were notably active in midfield exercises, possibly indicating replacements should Bellingham be unavailable.
With the title race nearing its end and a Champions League semifinal looming, even minor injuries are significant. Supporters will be hoping Bellingham’s situation is just a minor hiccup on the path to another La Liga trophy.
Stay tuned for more updates from Valdebebas as this story unfolds.
