Jude Bellingham is set to miss more action than initially expected after fresh medical assessments revealed that his recovery timeline could stretch to eight weeks, rather than the originally predicted six.

The Real Madrid star picked up the injury during recent club action, sparking immediate concern among fans and national team officials. According to reports from BBC, the situation has alarmed the England national football team medical staff, who fear Bellingham may not be fit in time for the upcoming March international fixtures.

Real Madrid are taking no chances with their prized midfielder. Club doctors are closely monitoring his progress and have reportedly advised a cautious rehabilitation plan to avoid aggravating the problem. With the business end of the season approaching and major international tournaments on the horizon, both club and country are prioritizing long-term fitness over short-term returns.

Bellingham has been one of Madrid’s most influential players this season, delivering goals, assists, and leadership well beyond his years. His absence leaves a significant hole in Carlo Ancelotti’s midfield setup, forcing tactical adjustments as Los Blancos juggle domestic and European commitments.
