Bellingham's Most Viral Image against Celta, Major Concern for the Club

The most viral image of Jude Bellingham against Celta de Vigo, main concern at Real Madrid

The gamr against Celta de Vigo was more complicated than expected for Real Madrid. Having to resort to extra time to secure the victory, Jude Bellingham ended up taking the field to help the team. While the club ultimately achieved a 5-2 victory, the Englishman grabbed the spotlight due to an alarming image.

After the game ended, Bellingham took off his jersey to reveal that he still has his shoulder protection. This was a surprise because the Englishman had removed it during several games. Seeing a clear improvement with his shoulder after the injury suffered last season, the fact of wearing it again has created some concern.

This could be an indication that Bellingham, after some time, has once again experienced discomfort related to his shoulder. Although the Englishman has been able to play the games without issue, Real Madrid fears that the player might relapse from his injury.

The concern with Bellingham

Since his arrival last season, Jude Bellingham has consistently demonstrated his worth. Despite being only 21 years old, the Englishman has managed to establish himself as a pillar for the team's midfield. This has been demonstrated again this season through the 9 goals and 7 assists he has achieved.

Being an essential player for the team's dynamics, the fact of using his shoulder protection again is alarming. Having stopped using it for a prolonged period, the Englishman had made it evident that he no longer had any discomfort.

However, the match against Celta brought back concerns to Real Madrid about a possible absence of their star. Although Bellingham has shown that he can play the matches without issue, the decision rests entirely in the hands of the team.

The action to take

Given the large number of matches the club has ahead, Bellingham's absence would be a significant loss. Because of this, Real Madrid must make the decision to keep Bellingham for the rest of the season.
