Bellingham Sidelined as Injury Rule Him Out of Benfica Clash

Jude Bellingham is set to miss around a month of action after suffering a thigh injury, ruling him out of Real Madrid’s upcoming league fixtures and their UEFA Champions League tie against Benfica.

The England midfielder was forced off just nine minutes into the match after failing to complete a sprint.

He clutched his thigh, immediately signalled to the bench, and was replaced by Brahim Díaz.

Bellingham will definitely miss the first leg against Benfica, with his involvement in the return fixture also considered highly unlikely
