Bellingham to wear shoulder protection, confirms Ancelotti

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has reassured that Jude Bellingham’s recurring shoulder issue will not affect his availability.

The England midfielder, who dislocated his shoulder last season, is set to wear protective gear in upcoming matches but remains fit for selection.

Speaking ahead of Madrid’s match against Alavés, Ancelotti dismissed concerns, stating, “It’s the same shoulder as last year.

“He’ll wear protection, but he’s available and ready to play.”

Bellingham aggravated his shoulder during Madrid’s 4-1 victory over Espanyol, receiving treatment on the pitch but continuing the game.

Despite the scare, no further complications have arisen.
