Jude Bellingham sustained a left shoulder injury against Rayo Vallecano last week. In the Englishman’s absence, Vinicius Jr and Rodrigo upheld the club’s winning mentality. Craig Burley, a soccer analyst, did not doubt Real Madrid’s ability to continue their dominant gameplay without Bellingham. The soccer pundit remarked on ESPN, “Shouldn’t matter. So, I would imagine it doesn’t but yeah, they did score in the Champions League, got two a piece today, four between them.” Craig Burley also said, “Bellingham’s going to walk back into the side so they have to deal with it. But they stood up so far. It doesn’t certainly matter to a player”.

The soccer pundit’s remarks align well with Real Madrid’s position across all the competitions. Carlo Ancelotti’s men comfortably maintain a second position in La Liga after their 5-1 triumph against Valencia. Los Blancos also secured the Champions League knockout stage after beating Braga with a 3-0 scoreline. Amidst such emphatic results, Ancelotti shared a crucial update on Bellingham’s availability in the upcoming fixtures.
