Jude Bellingham Out for Month with Injury

Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham is facing a month-long absence due to a plantar fasciitis injury sustained during training, as confirmed by manager Carlo Ancelotti. He will miss La Liga matches against Real Valladolid, Las Palmas, and Real Betis, along with England's UEFA Nations League fixtures against the Republic of Ireland and Finland. Bellingham's injury is a significant blow as he played a crucial role in Real Madrid's success last season, contributing to their Champions League and La Liga victories. His absence raises concerns over the physical demands on young athletes in modern football. Ancelotti mentioned Bellingham's condition is under evaluation, but early reports suggest he will be unavailable until after the international break. The club will need to adapt their tactics without Bellingham, who has become an integral part of the team's midfield.
