Real Madrid is optimistic about Jude Bellingham’s return from an ankle injury, targeting the start of next month for his comeback. The club is hopeful that Bellingham, who sustained the injury after scoring twice against Girona, will be available for the Champions League last 16 second leg.
The coaching staff is aiming for Bellingham to be back on the pitch for the away game against Valencia on March 2, providing an opportunity for him to gain minutes before the crucial clash against RB Leipzig at the Bernabeu. However, this means the midfielder will miss the upcoming game against Sevilla at home.
Despite his recent injury, Bellingham has shown resilience since his summer transfer from Borussia Dortmund. His return is eagerly anticipated as Real Madrid looks to maintain its lead in both domestic and European competitions.

In another positive development, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is making significant progress in his recovery from an ACL tear in August. Courtois could fully rejoin training by the end of next month, marking a speedy comeback. While Kepa Arrizabalaga was signed on loan from Chelsea during Courtois’ absence, Andriy Lunin has performed well as the starting goalkeeper. Lunin’s future at the club remains uncertain, and a decision may be made in the summer regarding his role at Real Madrid.
