Jude Bellingham misses Real Madrid training as injury fears grow with La Liga title battle heating up
The tension at Real Madrid’s Valdebebas training ground reached new heights this morning as star midfielder Jude Bellingham was absent from the team’s training session, sparking
fresh injury concerns with the La Liga title race entering its final, decisive weeks.
Carlo Ancelotti addressed the media shortly after the session, confirming Bellingham’s absence but offering few details about the nature of the issue. The Englishman, who has been instrumental in Madrid’s title charge this season with 18 league goals and a string of match-winning performances, was reportedly dealing with discomfort following the club’s recent fixtures.
“We preferred to keep Jude inside for treatment as a precaution,” Ancelotti told reporters. “He felt something after the last game, and with the important matches coming up, we don’t want to take any risks.”
The news couldn’t come at a more crucial time for Los Blancos, with just a handful of matches remaining in the league campaign and rivals Barcelona still chasing them in the title race. Real Madrid face a tricky away clash this weekend, and Bellingham’s potential absence would be a significant blow to the squad’s midfield balance and attacking threat.
When pressed for further clarification, Ancelotti remained cautious: “We’ll see how he responds tomorrow. It’s nothing serious, but we’ll evaluate him day by day.”
The club has not officially ruled the 20-year-old out of the weekend’s fixture, but Madridistas will be holding their breath as they await updates on his fitness. Bellingham’s presence has been pivotal not just for his goal scoring exploits but also for his leadership and ability to deliver in the biggest moments.
Meanwhile, the rest of the squad trained as normal, with Luka Modrić and Eduardo Camavinga stepping up in midfield drills — a possible hint at who could feature if Bellingham is sidelined.
As the title battle heats up and with a Champions League semifinal also on the horizon, every fitness concern carries added weight. Madrid fans will be hoping Bellingham’s precautionary absence is nothing more than a brief setback as they look to seal another La Liga crown.
Stay tuned for further updates from Valdebebas as the situation develops.
