Bellingham Hamstring Injury: Real Madrid Update

The England midfielder suffered a hamstring injury against Rayo Vallecano and is expected to miss the Champions League games against Benfica.

Real Madrid will be without midfielder Jude Bellingham for the time being. The former Dortmund player suffered an injury to his left thigh in the game against Rayo Vallecano (2-1) in La Liga on Sunday and is expected to be out for a month. The Royals announced that further action would be monitored.

Bellingham had to leave the pitch in the tenth minute; after a sprint, the Englishman grabbed the back of his thigh and immediately fell to the ground. In tears, Bellingham, who had to be comforted by his teammates, disappeared into the players’ tunnel.

The midfielder will probably be missed by Real in the upcoming Champions League play-offs against Benfica Lisbon (February 17th and 25th).
