Details: Fuel was added to the fire by England head coach Thomas Tuchel. Speaking at the Nations League draw in Brussels, the German manager hinted that Real Madrid is keeping the true scale of the problem under wraps:
“Real Madrid is acting more cautiously and secretively regarding the timeline for his recovery. Jude is a true professional and is doing everything possible to be ready for the March fixtures, but right now it’s a real race against time. Personally, I’m optimistic, but I can’t say I’m confident,” Mundo Deportivo quoted Tuchel as saying.
Recall, on February 1st in a match against Rayo Vallecano, Jude suffered a hamstring tear in his left leg. The initial diagnosis suggested about a month out, which was later extended to two months, but the actual recovery period could be even longer.
As a result, there are serious doubts about whether Bellingham will be able to play for England in March.
