Real Madrid sets no return date for injured Bellingham

Real Madrid has not set a definitive return date for midfielder Jude Bellingham despite him being out with a muscle injury for three weeks.

Real Madrid remains tight-lipped about Jude Bellingham's return timeline as the English midfielder continues his recovery from a muscle problem. The 20-year-old has been sidelined for three weeks now, with only confirmation that he's continuing his rehabilitation process.

While Bellingham has been spotted training recently, journalist Alvaro Esteban reports that there's no specific return date set, with fears his recovery might extend beyond the initial one-month estimate. This could see him miss crucial matches for Real Madrid in both La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, while potentially affecting his importance with the England national team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
