Real Madrid is facing a major challenge with star midfielder Jude Bellingham out due to injury, putting Carlo Ancelotti in a critical position to choose a replacement. Marca reports that two players are leading the race to take Bellingham’s spot in the starting lineup in the coming weeks.
Today, Real Madrid announced that Bellingham injured his plantaris muscle in his right leg during training. This injury is likely to sideline the England international for about a month, marking a significant setback for the reigning La Liga Player of the Season.
With Bellingham sidelined, Ancelotti and his coaching team must now reorganize the midfield. According to Marca, the choice for Bellingham’s replacement will likely come down to either experienced stability or youthful potential.
The top candidates are veteran Luka Modrić and rising star Arda Güler. Modrić, with his extensive experience and leadership, could provide the stability needed during Bellingham’s absence. Conversely, Güler, with his promising talent, could inject new energy and creativity into the midfield.
The decision will be challenging as both players offer distinct advantages that could impact Real Madrid’s performance in the coming weeks. Ancelotti’s choice will be scrutinized as the team works to adapt without their key midfielder.
As the situation develops, Real Madrid supporters and analysts will be keen to see how the team adjusts and who will emerge to fill Bellingham’s role.
