England international Jude Bellingham will miss several weeks of training with Spanish champions Real Madrid due to a foot injury. 

The Champions League winners made the announcement on Friday. The 21-year-old suffered a blow to his foot, said coach Carlo Ancelotti, as a result of which the key player sustained a muscle injury to the sole of his foot.

Bellingham, like ÖFB star David Alaba, who is still working on his comeback, is therefore out for the league game against Real Valladolid on Sunday (17:00), the home debut of superstar Kylian Mbappé.

Bellingham will also miss England's two Nations League games against Ireland and Finland next month.
