Jude Bellingham’s UCL Clash in Doubt as Injury Looms

• Bellingham uncertain for UCL clash against Braga.
• Key with 13 goals in 14 games for Real Madrid.
• Chose Real Madrid, won Bundesliga’s top player award.

Real Madrid’s star midfielder, Jude Bellingham, faces uncertainty ahead of the UEFA Champions League showdown against Braga on Wednesday, November 8, due to a recent shoulder injury.

Bellingham’s absence would be a significant blow to Los Blancos, as the 20-year-old has emerged as one of their most influential players, showcasing his prowess since joining the club.

Bellingham sustained a dislocated shoulder during a goalless draw at the Bernabeu over the weekend. The young midfielder’s impact on the team has been undeniable, with an impressive record of 13 goals in just 14 matches since his debut. His ability to find the back of the net and rescue Real Madrid from challenging situations has made him a pivotal figure in the squad.

Real Madrid’s head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, addressed Bellingham’s availability in a pre-match press conference held on Tuesday. Ancelotti revealed that the decision regarding Bellingham’s participation in the crucial Champions League match would be made closer to the game. The midfielder had not completed training to avoid exacerbating his shoulder injury, although he reported feeling better.

While Bellingham did participate in a training session with his teammates on Tuesday, his comfort level with his shoulder injury remains a concern. Ancelotti may opt to rest Bellingham, considering the team’s depth and quality, and the fact that they are facing Braga.

Jude Bellingham’s €103 million transfer to Real Madrid has proven to be a remarkable investment, with his on-field performances making him one of the world’s best young talents. His memorable contribution included a match-winning performance against Barcelona on October 28, where he scored two crucial goals, including a sensational strike from outside the box in the 68th minute and a dramatic 92nd-minute winner.

It’s worth noting that Bellingham was a highly sought-after player during the transfer window, with top clubs such as Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Liverpool competing for his signature. However, the English midfielder chose Real Madrid, fulfilling his dream of playing for the club.

Bellingham’s impact has extended beyond his time at Real Madrid, as he was recently named the Bundesliga Player of the Season for the 2022-23 campaign. He achieved this accolade after an outstanding season with Borussia Dortmund, where he scored 14 goals and provided seven assists.

The uncertainty surrounding Bellingham’s availability adds an element of intrigue to Real Madrid’s upcoming Champions League match against Braga, as fans eagerly await the final decision on whether their star midfielder will take the field.
