Injured Real Madrid rising star targeting return for derby vs Atletico Madrid | OneFootball

According to a report from Mundo Deportivo, Jude Bellingham is aiming to make his comeback in the Madrid derby against Atletico Madrid, scheduled for September 28 or 29 at the Metropolitano Stadium.

It must be noted that Bellingham suffered a muscle injury during a training session yesterday, just before the home game against Valladolid. As a result, he is expected to be out for about a month.

Bellingham’s absence will be a significant blow for Real Madrid as he will miss several important fixtures.

Matches Bellingham will miss

He will be unavailable for a series of La Liga matches, including those against Valladolid, Las Palmas, Betis, Real Sociedad, Espanyol, and Alaves.

However, there is a small possibility that Bellingham could return in time for the match against Alaves, which is set to take place on September 24 or 25. The club will be closely monitoring his recovery to determine if he can make an earlier return.

In addition to missing these league games, Bellingham will also be unavailable for Real Madrid’s first Champions League match of the season, which is scheduled to be played between September 17 and 19.

This match is crucial for the team’s European campaign, and his absence will undoubtedly be felt.

Furthermore, the young midfielder will not be able to join the English national team for their Nations League matches against Ireland and Finland in September.

It is no secret that Bellingham’s main focus now is on his recovery, and he is determined to be fit for the Madrid derby against Atletico Madrid.

The club, on their part, will be hoping that he can make a speedy recovery and return to the pitch stronger than ever. Amidst all this, the medical team will be working hard to ensure that he is back in action as soon as possible.
