On Sunday night, Real Madrid secured a tight 1-0 victory against Sevilla, bringing them one step closer to winning the La Liga championship. This victory was achieved despite the absence of many important players, including Jude Bellingham, who is the leading striker in the league.
The England international has been out with an injury ever since the team’s victory against Girona by a score of 4-0, during which he set up two goals.
Almost immediately after that, however, it was established that the twenty-year-old had sustained an ankle injury and that he may be out of action for a period of two to three weeks.
An optimistic outlook on Bellingham
At first, it was anticipated that Bellingham might be able to return to play in time for Real Madrid’s match against RB Leipzig on March 6, which was the second leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 match.
Nevertheless, according to Melchor Ruiz of COPE, there is now anticipation that Bellingham might be back as soon as this week, when Los Blancos play Valencia away at the Mestalla in La Liga. This match is scheduled to take place.
The summer addition from Borussia Dortmund is said to have a gradual rehabilitation plan, and the aim is that he may return to group training with the rest of the team either on Thursday or Friday. This is according to the report.
There is reason to believe that Bellingham will be prepared to take on Valencia when they depart for the match at Mestalla on Saturday night. This is the conclusion that has been reached.
If this is the case, it will be a significant lift for Real Madrid in advance of a match that has the potential to be challenging. The atmosphere at Mestalla is anticipated to be boisterous against the Merengues due to the events that occurred at the stadium during the previous season.
