Talking about Bellingham's injury, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti spoke about how the English midfielder can't play over the international break with his condition. “He will go to be evaluated but I expect him back [in Spain] again quickly,” Ancelotti said after the 5-1 win over Valencia.
“If he didn’t play today, he can’t play with England. He has to do specific work to strengthen his shoulder and he will do that in the coming weeks. After the international break, I think he will be able to play again,” Ancelotti added.
