Jude Bellingham ruled out for a month and set to miss Lee Carsley’s first England matches after suffering foot injury
JUDE BELLINGHAM is set to miss the start of England’s Uefa Nations League campaign after being ruled out for a month with injury.
The Real Madrid star, 21, was a star of the Three Lions run to the final at the Euros this summer.
However, he is now set to miss Lee Carsley’s first squad after picking up a plantar fasciitis injury in his right leg in training with the Spanish giants.
A club statement said: “Following tests carried out today on our player Jude Bellingham, he has been diagnosed with an injury to the plantar thin muscle of his right leg.”
Manager Carlo Ancelotti revealed the news after he was asked whether Bellingham would be available for Sunday’s LaLiga clash against Real Valladolid.
The former Chelsea and Everton boss said: “Bellingham had a blow, he is being assessed,” but it has now confirmed that the midfielder would miss the next month of action.
