Bellingham in danger of missing UCL playoffs with hamstring issue
Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham is expected to miss the club's upcoming Champions League play-off matches against Benfica after suffering a hamstring injury during a La Liga match on Sunday.
The club confirmed in a statement that medical tests diagnosed an injury to the semitendinosus muscle in his left leg, though they did not specify a timeline for his recovery.
Spanish media reports suggest the 22-year-old England international could be sidelined for approximately one month, which would cause him to miss not only the two-legged tie against Benfica on February 17 and 25 but also key league fixtures against Valencia, Real Sociedad, and Osasuna.
Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa acknowledged that Bellingham's potential absence is significant but expressed confidence in the depth of his squad to compensate for the loss of the midfielder.
