JAKARTA - Real Madrid today confirmed that midfielder Jude Bellingham sprained his left ankle. Spanish media reported that he would be out for up to three weeks.
The international, who is Real Madrid's top scorer of the season, will miss a visit to RB Leipzig's headquarters in the Champions League last 16 match on Tuesday, February 13.
Bellingham picked up the injury after scoring two goals in Real's 4-0 win over Girona in the Spanish League match played last Saturday, February 10. The win brought Real five points ahead at the top of the table.
The player is expected to recover from playing the second leg on March 6.
“Bellingham was diagnosed with a sprain on her left ankle,” according to a Real statement as quoted by AFP.
The 20-year-old will most likely miss the Spanish League match against Rayo Vallecano, Sevilla, and Valencia.
Real has been plagued by hurricane injuries this season. They have lost Thibaut Courtois, David Alaba, and Eder Militao who have been sidelined for the long term. Meanwhile, key striker Vinicius Junior has also been injured several times.
Bellingham was brought in from Borussia Dortmund in the summer transfer window for 103 million euros. He quickly became a vital player for Carlo Ancelotti's men, and is the current top scorer in the Spanish League with 16 goals.
