Bellingham Knows if He Will be Able to Play against Sevilla after being Injured in Doha

The player is suffering from a strain and training will be key, but for now his presence at Bernabéu is not in danger

Real Madrid has sought to calm concerns over Jude Bellingham's physical condition after the Intercontinental Cup final. The club has assured that he is "fine" and, for now, will be available for Sunday's game against Sevilla.

However, his condition will be assessed in today's training session. Bellingham has been dealing with discomfort in his left thigh for some time, something that is worrying the coaching staff.

The player raised the alarm at the end of the game in Doha. During the game, he was seen touching the back of his thigh on several occasions. After the game, Bellingham spoke to the team's physio and medical chief.

The Englishman explained that he felt discomfort in his quadriceps. The doctors decided to apply a bandage to the affected area to avoid further problems. This bandage was hidden under his shorts, which didn't prevent Jude from celebrating the title with the rest of the team.

Lots of minutes load

These problems are not new for Bellingham. He has had similar physical problems on several occasions during the season. Despite this, his performance has been outstanding.

The midfielder is a key player in Carlo Ancelotti's system. His 7 goals and 6 assists this season reflect his importance to the Whites.

Real Madrid don't want to take unnecessary risks with their star player. Therefore, his participation against Sevilla will depend on how he develops in the next few hours.

The club knows that the schedule is demanding, and Bellingham is essential for both the League and Champions League matches. Taking care of his physical condition will be a priority to avoid major injuries.

Real Madrid fans are keeping an eye on the latest news. Bellingham's possible absence would be a blow for the team in a difficult match against Sevilla in which Vinícius will not be available.

For now, everything points to him being fit. But the next 24 hours will be key to determining whether the Englishman will be able to continue leading the team from the field.
