Real Madrid Fear Longer Layoff for Jude Bellingham as Hamstring Timeline Extends Toward Two Months

Thomas Tuchel says his availability for England’s March friendlies is a race against time.

Overview

  • Multiple reports cite Ramon Álvarez de Mon in revising Bellingham’s recovery from roughly one month to as long as six to eight weeks.
  • Real Madrid’s tests identified an injury to the semitendinosus in his left hamstring sustained within the first 10 minutes at Rayo Vallecano on February 1.
  • An extended absence would rule him out of both Benfica ties and several La Liga games, with the Madrid derby against Atlético also at risk.
  • The club’s medical staff are inclined toward a conservative rehabilitation plan to limit the chance of a relapse.
  • The FA are in contact with the player and club, with Tuchel expressing cautious optimism about March 27 and 31 fixtures against Uruguay and Japan.
