Following the fact that Jude Bellingham scored the game-winning goal in extra time against FC Barcelona in the most recent El Clasico, it is understandable that Real Madrid supporters would have been eager to see him play again this weekend. One of the candidates for the upcoming Ballon d’Or, the Englishman has established himself as an absolute superstar since joining the club in the summer from Borussia Dortmund. He is now one of the leading contenders for the award.
Regrettably, Bellingham will not be participating in any games this weekend. His name has not been included in the roster for the match that will take place away at the Anoeta against Real Sociedad.
This is something that very few people would have anticipated happening. Furthermore, it should come as no surprise that many people have been left wondering if Bellingham has sustained an injury. In that case, Real Madrid would be in for some terrible news. Although it is safe to say that La Liga has already been won, the same cannot be said about the Champions League since there are still games that are of significant importance.
I am relieved to report that it does not seem to be an injury concern. Bellingham has been excluded from the team owing to gastroenteritis, as claimed by AS to have been the reason. As a result, it is quite probable that his recuperation will be a short-term one.
Bellingham’s removal from the Real Madrid team and the reasons behind it
The only thing we can do is hope that Bellingham makes a full and rapid recovery. We can only hope that he will return to his full health as quickly as possible.
Even without Bellingham in the team, Real Madrid should have enough left in the tank to defeat Real Sociedad and go one step closer to winning the league championship. This would be beneficial for Real Madrid. Over the course of their professional careers, the team coached by Carlo Ancelotti has often shown that they are adept at adjusting to any circumstance.
To put everything into perspective, Real Sociedad is, without a doubt, a respectable club that is quite capable of producing an upset on their day, particularly when they are playing at their own stadium. In light of this, Real Madrid must exercise caution. It is not in their best interest to lose points here and there, since this would bring the battle for the championship any closer than it already is.
