Injured Real Madrid star will begin to intensify ball work from Monday; group involvement likely | OneFootball

Real Madrid could soon receive a major boost as Jude Bellingham edges closer to his return from injury.

According to a report from MARCA, the English midfielder is expected to increase his workload from Monday, including ball work and possibly even a partial return to group training.

After four days off during the international break, the squad will reconvene at Valdebebas on Monday afternoon.

For Madrid, the sight of Bellingham stepping up his recovery will be welcome news, as it signals the beginning of the countdown to his full reintegration with the team.

Bellingham, who has been sidelined for almost two months, is reportedly feeling good about his progress and is eager to return to action as soon as possible.

The midfielder has made it clear that he is desperate to help his teammates, and this week’s development marks another step toward that goal.

The club’s plan has always been to avoid rushing his return, with a “zero risk” policy in place to ensure he only comes back when fully fit.

The initial target for his return was mid-October, and although Bellingham may cut that timeline slightly short, Madrid will not compromise on ensuring his recovery is complete.

The club’s medical staff and coaching team know how important Bellingham is to their project, but also how vital it is that he avoids setbacks.

As such, while his comeback is edging closer, the focus is firmly on guaranteeing he is 100% ready before returning to competitive matches.

Now entering the final stretch of his rehabilitation, Bellingham is on course to fulfil his promise of returning strong and ready to make an immediate impact.
