Real Madrid faces a concern as Jude Bellingham sustains an ankle injury, casting doubt on his availability for the Champions League clash against RB Leipzig.
Jude Bellingham is set to sit out Real Madrid‘s Champions League last-16 initial clash versus RB Leipzig due to an ankle sprain sustained during Saturday’s 4-0 La Liga triumph over Girona, where he netted twice.
The 20-year-old England midfielder’s return remains uncertain as Real Madrid abstains from specifying a timeline for his recovery, opting instead to observe his progress closely.
Bellingham’s impressive performance brought his tally to 20 goals in 31 appearances across all competitions since his transfer from Borussia Dortmund last summer.
In addition to Bellingham’s contributions, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo found the net, propelling Carlo Ancelotti’s squad to a comfortable lead atop the La Liga standings.
Following the Leipzig encounter, scheduled for Tuesday at 20:00 GMT, Real Madrid’s agenda includes La Liga fixtures against Rayo Vallecano and Sevilla before March begins, concluding with the return leg against Leipzig on March 6th.
Moreover, England has upcoming friendly matches against Brazil and Belgium at the conclusion of the following month.
