Real Madrid set a surprising Jude Bellingham injury return date
By Kian Long
Real Madrid have been without the services of Jude Bellingham since the start of the season. He played in the first matchweek against Real Mallorca but was forced to miss the second match against Valladolid due to injury.
The sensation who was signed in 2023 is yet to fully kick on this season, despite watching on from the sidelines.
He had a stellar UEFA Super Cup display, which only makes his injury even more difficult for Real Madrid fans to swallow.
However, there is some positive news emerging on the Jude Bellingham injury front. The latest timeframe for his return has been unveiled and it might shock Real Madrid fans, in the best possible way.
Real Madrid set a surprising Jude Bellingham injury return date
According to an update from Mario Cortegana of The Athletic, Real Madrid could recall Jude Bellingham for the first game back after the international break.
On September 14, Real Madrid take on Real Sociedad away from home, with Carlo Ancelotti hopeful that Bellingham will travel and potentially even be involved. Without a doubt, this would be a big confidence boost for Real Madrid.
It is no secret that Real Madrid have begun the season poorly, dropping points where they shouldn't be dropped. Their poor start is exacerbated by Barcelona's great start to the season.
However, with Jude Bellingham back in the starting eleven, this will give Carlo Ancelotti a new avenue to go down.
Despite still being a young player, Bellingham has become this important to Real Madrid, so the hole in the starting eleven caused by his injury is certainly felt.
Jude Bellingham has returned from injury surprisingly fast but it could be a result of the factor I keep referring to: his age. Due to being a young player, he is capable of rehabilitating his body at a faster rate than some of the senior players.
While sidelined through injury, Jude Bellingham hasn't been sidelined from the headlines. He has been involved in plenty of things which Real Madrid fans will love, not limited to being included in the top 30 nominees for the 2024 Ballon d'Or and starting his own YouTube channel.
Jude Bellingham was also present in Real Madrid's most recent victory over Real Betis. He was in the crowd and visibly applauded when Kylian Mbappe opened his La Liga account. A player who constantly hypes up his teammates, his return from injury will be a massive boost.
