Real Madrid triumphed 0-3 over Girona in LaLiga, bringing them closer to Barcelona at the top of the standings, who lost to Real Betis earlier today.
Los Blancos’ smiles were shortly dashed as Jude Bellingham left the pitch early due to an apparent injury sustained around the hour mark. He was succeeded by Dani Ceballos.
Mbappé scored, as did Arda Güler, who put the game out of reach following the Englishman’s first-half goal.
Which injury does Jude Bellingham have?
While the club has yet to clarify the severity of the injury, it is thought that the Englishman felt something in his leg and was brought off as a precaution.
Real Madrid has a critical Champions League game against Atalanta next week, and endangering such a vital player would be a risky game to play.
It is not the first time the midfielder has struggled from physical problems this season: the majority of Real Madrid’s roster has been injured at some point, and Bellingham was out earlier this season with a plantaris muscle ailment. This time, however, it is hoped to be less serious.
After the game, Ancelotti reassured fans that “he’s OK, he was tired in his legs, I preferred not to risk him, he’ll be OK”.
