Bellingham, who incurred the injury after scoring twice in Madrid’s 4-0 La Liga win over Girona on Saturday to put the club five points ahead, could be ready for the second leg on March 6. “Bellingham has been diagnosed with a high-grade sprain of his left ankle,” Madrid confirmed in a statement.
The 20-year-old is also expected to miss league games against Rayo Vallecano, Sevilla, and Valencia. Madrid has experienced significant injury troubles this season, with Thibaut Courtois, David Alaba, and Eder Militao out indefinitely, as well as important attacker Vinicius Junior suffering from numerous ailments. Bellingham, who joined from Borussia Dortmund for €103 million in the summer, has rapidly established himself as a key member of Carlo Ancelotti’s side and is the top scorer in La Liga with 16 goals.
