Jude Bellingham picked up the shoulder injury during the 0-0 draw between Real Madrid and Rayo Vallecano in La Liga at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday, November 5. In the first half, the 20-year-old had gone down clutching his shoulder on the football pitch, but after receiving lengthy treatment he managed to play the entire 90 minutes while wearing a strapping on his shoulder in the second half.
In the post-match chat, Carlo Ancelotti was quoted as saying about the injury, “Bellingham has a problem with his shoulder. He will undergo medical tests tomorrow. I hope he can play on Wednesday against Braga.” Notably, Real Madrid had 22 shots on goal against Rayo Vallecano, with Jude Bellingham hitting the post in the first half, but they couldn’t secure the win.
Just a day later, Jude Bellingham took to his official X account to send out a post about the game without mentioning the shoulder injury. He was quoted as saying, “Just missed that final touch last night, no drama. Stick together, stay positive and move on. #HalaMadrid”.
