Overview
- Madrid’s medical team diagnosed a semitendinosus injury in Bellingham’s left leg and said his recovery will be monitored.
- He pulled up inside the first 10 minutes against Rayo Vallecano, clutching his left hamstring before being replaced by Brahim Díaz and leaving the pitch in tears.
- Sources told ESPN the absence is projected at about a month, with a possible return pencilled in for March 1 against Getafe.
- Based on that timeline, he is expected to miss LaLiga trips to Valencia and Osasuna, the home game with Real Sociedad, and both Champions League play-off ties against Benfica.
- England staff will track his progress ahead of March friendlies and World Cup preparations, with the current outlook reducing fears of a long-term setback.
