Overview
- Real Madrid said tests showed an injury to the semitendinosus muscle in Bellingham’s left leg and noted his recovery will be monitored.
- Spanish reporting points to an absence of around one month, though the exact return date depends on how he progresses.
- Bellingham pulled up eight to ten minutes into the win over Rayo Vallecano, left in visible pain, and was replaced by Brahim Díaz.
- If the one-month estimate holds, he is expected to miss four La Liga matches in February and both Champions League play-off legs against Benfica.
- Head coach Álvaro Arbeloa initially said the severity was unclear, and England will track his fitness ahead of March friendlies and World Cup selection decisions.
