Jude Bellingham of Real Madrid suffered a muscular injury in his right leg in training on Friday, the club announced. According to ESPN, he will be absent from any game until mid-September.
"After tests carried out today by Real Madrid's medical services on our player Jude Bellingham, he has been diagnosed with an injury in the plantaris muscle in his right leg," Real said in a statement.
"[Bellingham] got a knock," coach Carlo Ancelotti said at a news conference on Friday. "We're evaluating it."
Bellingham became one of Real's most integral superstars since his arrival at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in July 2023. He scored 23 goals and delivered 14 assists for the Spanish giants last season, helping them win both the La Liga and the UEFA Champions League titles.
Real began the 2024-25 La Liga campaign with a 1-1 draw with RCD Mallorca on the road on August 18. They will play their first home game of the season against Real Valladolid on Sunday. Their biggest signing during the summer transfer window, Kylian Mbappe will make his debut at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
"It was quite clear in terms of the evaluation," Ancelotti said of the 1-1 draw in the La Liga season opener. "We lacked balance at times and we have to work on that. It isn't too complicated. When the problem is clear, there's a clear solution."
Meanwhile, the coach denied that there are problems for Rodrygo, Mbappe, Vinícius Junior and Bellingham to play together.
"[Rodrygo] told me he's very happy here," Ancelotti said. "He's working hard, he's been one of the best in these games, so there's no problem with him."
