Real Madrid superstar pushing to return against Valencia, recovery going very well

It may be just eight months since Jude Bellingham signed for Real Madrid, yet, the English phenom is already a non-negotiable under Carlo Ancelotti.

His blistering start to the season has been followed but consistent high-quality displays, and it is safe to say that he is one of the primary creative forces in the team.

The protege’s injury during Los Blancos’ clash against Girona earlier this month, thus, came as a big blow.

Bellingham has missed three games since his fitness setback and is working hard on the sidelines to force a speedy return.

According to reports from Jorge C Picon, Bellingham’s recovery has been progressing better than expected.

If everything goes to plan, he will cut a few days of his recovery and as such, is pushing for a return against Valencia.

Real Madrid play Valencia on Saturday night, and the young midfielder is pushing himself to play against Los Che.

The final decision will lie with the player, albeit after consultation with the medical staff.

The youngster aims to return to group training in the coming days, possibly as early as Wednesday. A final decision on his participation will be made on Friday.

It is no coincidence that Real Madrid’s last convincing victory was the last game that Bellingham featured in.

The youngster scored twice in the 4-0 win over Girona, and the team’s results have gone down ever since.

After the win over Michel’s side, Los Blancos have scraped 1-0 wins past RB Leipzig and Sevilla apart from dropping two points against Rayo Vallecano.

It is safe to say that Bellingham’s return will go a long way in boosting the Merengues’ performance, especially in terms of goals, and that Real Madrid have missed their star player.
