Following their triumph in the UEFA Champions League against Braga and securing a spot in the round of 16, Real Madrid is gearing up for La Liga action against Valencia. Unfortunately, there’s concerning news about Jude Bellingham’s injury ahead of this crucial encounter.
Just seven days ago, Real Madrid faced a setback as Bellingham suffered a dislocated right shoulder in the match against Rayo Vallecano.
Despite doubts about his participation against Braga, the Englishman was unable to recover in time. Now, as Real Madrid prepares to face Valencia, it has been officially confirmed that Bellingham will miss the match due to anterior instability of his left shoulder, a consequence of his recent dislocation.
The statement from Real Madrid is succinct, stating, “After the tests carried out today on our player Jude Bellingham, he has been diagnosed with anterior instability of his left shoulder, a consequence of his recent dislocation. Bellingham is out for today’s match against Valencia.”
This injury news comes as a blow to Real Madrid, as they had hoped for Bellingham’s return to strengthen their lineup. The absence of a key player like Bellingham could impact the dynamics of the team, especially considering his recent contributions on the field.
In the midst of these developments, there are reports suggesting that Real Madrid, having declined pursuing Mbappé, might now turn their attention to Haaland.
The speculated lineups for the match feature Real Madrid with players such as Lunin, Carvajal, Nacho, Alaba, Fran García, Camavinga, Kroos, Valverde, Brahim Diaz, Vinicius, and Joselu. On the other side, Valencia is expected to line up with Mamardashvili, Correia, Mosquera, Gabriel Paulista, Gayá, Pepelu, Javi Guerra, Fran Pérez, Amallah, Diego López, and Hugo Duro.
The focus now shifts to how Real Madrid will adapt without Bellingham against Valencia, and the lineup choices will play a crucial role in this La Liga encounter.
