An update on the wellbeing of Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham has come to the fore online late this evening.
As much comes after the England international picked up a fitness problem in Real’s meeting with Pachuca.
Carlo Ancelotti’s troops are of course fresh off securing fresh silverware, thanking goals on the part of all of Kylian Mbappé, Rodrygo, and Vinícius Jr. for a comfortable victory in the final of the Intercontinental Cup.
The aforementioned Bellingham played his part, too, enjoying a fine individual showing from his berth in midfield.
As alluded to above, however, late in proceedings in Lusail, the England international set alarm bells sounding across Los Blancos’ fanbase.
This comes after Bellingham was spotted limping both prior to and after the full-time whistle.
And now, an insight into precisely why has been provided.
As confirmed by beIN Sports, the issue being felt by the 21-year-old was in his right thigh.
It remains to be seen if as much culminates in an incoming spell on the sidelines, but Bellingham was fitted with heavy strapping by the Real Madrid medical staff post-match.
