Title: Injury Woes Mount for Bellingham and Real Madrid’s Squad

And now, pending Bellingham. Other possible injury; rains, it pours. The Englishman jumped onto the grass with sneakers and began jogging alone. Very slowly, very controlled. Trying on. But the test turned out to be fleeting: he barely lasted 5 minutes, stopping in front of the coaching staff and chatting with them with his head down. Ancelotti’s assistants covered him up and hit him on the back. The noise grew louder. Confirmed when Jude walked to the locker room. And he disappeared from the grass. He came out, jogged 5′, talked to the coaching staff and left.

It was more than a serious doubt against Granada, despite the fact that his illness is unknown exactly. It is worth remembering that against Naples he suffered a notable sprain in his left ankle. Despite this, he continued playing. Whether that or something new, what is ruled out is the left shoulder: this is muscle in the legs. The doubts were dispelled by Ancelotti at a press conference, despite Bellingham’s bad gestures in training: “Tomorrow he is ready to play, he has no problem. He had a little discomfort and we preferred to avoid contact, but tomorrow he will be fine and will play,” said the coach. Still, the doubt remains. It already happened against Valencia (matchday 13), Bellingham entered the list despite his shoulder pain and in the end, on the same day of the match, he was dropped at the last minute.

Kepa returns

The good news is that Kepa is back. With only two sessions, the goalkeeper is on the list but following what Ancelotti has said, Lunin will start again. Güler was also on the grass, although running continuously. No ball or group. He is completely ruled out against Granada and, in fact, looks more to 2024 than to the remainder of 2023.

Ancelotti, with Bellingham, would have 35% of the squad in the infirmary: Courtois (tear of the anterior cruciate of the left knee, with involvement of the meniscus), Militao (tear of the anterior cruciate of the right knee, without involvement of the meniscus) , Camavinga (rupture of the external lateral ligament of the right knee), Tchouameni (incomplete stress fracture in the second metatarsal of the left foot), Modric (overload in the left ischium), Arda Güler (muscle tear in the right quadriceps) , Vinicius (break in the left femoral biceps, with involvement of the distal tendon) and Jude. Eight of 23.
