Carlo Ancelotti’s Assessment of Jude Bellingham’s Ongoing Injury

Carlo Ancelotti has expressed his lack of concern ⁣over a potential reoccurrence of‌ Jude Bellingham’s shoulder injury during Real Madrid’s 4-1​ win against Espanyol⁢ on Saturday night. The victory allowed Los Blancos to close the gap to La Liga leaders Barcelona to just one point. Bellingham, who had missed several matches earlier in the season⁢ due to a muscle problem, started his second consecutive game but was seen struggling with his shoulder ‌during ‍the match. However, ⁢he managed to⁤ play for 83 minutes before being substituted and Ancelotti believes the issue is not too concerning. The manager stated that Bellingham’s shoulder problem has resolved well and that he⁣ played the entire game without any issues. He also mentioned that although​ it must be taken care of, he doesn’t think it will be a major problem going forward. Bellingham will hope to be available for Madrid’s upcoming matches against Alaves and Atletico Madrid in their La Liga title defense, as well as their Champions League trip to Lille in early October. Ancelotti expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance, stating that they started well and ⁣reacted positively after‌ conceding ⁢an early goal. He described the overall performance as complete and praised their improved rhythm and ability to create ⁤more opportunities compared to previous games.
