Jude Bellingham’s shoulder injury caused concern for Real Madrid, but he is likely to be fit for the Champions League match against Braga. Since signing from Borussia Dortmund, the English international has scored 13 goals in 14 games. Despite the fact that he was unable to score against Rayo Vallecano on Sunday.
On Wednesday, the Blancos will meet Portuguese competition at the Santiago Bernabeu. They have already secured maximum points in their first three Group C games. In their quest to reach the knockout rounds, the Liga giants have plenty of room for mistake.
Bellingham sustained a dislocated shoulder against Rayo, although it is not regarded to be severe. He practised on Tuesday in preparation for the match against Braga at the Santiago Bernabeu but was unable to complete the session owing to pain.
There’s no need to bet on Bellingham’s fitness, as the England international has established a talismanic figure in Madrid. He has already scored 13 goals in 14 games across all competitions. He may possibly win the renowned Golden Boy award in 2023.
Given that Real Madrid have more than enough quality to defeat Braga without Bellingham, it seems reasonable to rest him for the match, even if he is fully healthy. The last thing Los Blancos want is for their top guy to be sidelined for an extended length of time.The England star will be anxious to feature in midweek European action, with his boss now deciding how many minutes he can play.
