Jude Bellingham is unlikely to start in Real Madrid's first Champions League game against Bayern Munich.
İdman.Biz reports, citing "OK Diario", that Real Madrid's coach Alvaro Arbeloa and the management are seriously concerned about the player's current condition. The main concern is that Bellingham has not fully recovered from the muscle injury he sustained in February and is struggling to adapt to the new game system implemented by Arbeloa.
According to reports, although Arbeloa is testing Bellingham in the position where Arda Güler is currently performing more successfully, the English midfielder's performance has not satisfied the coaching staff. Therefore, in the important match against the Munich representative, Eduardo Camavinga or young Tiago Pitarch, who has been showing a brilliant game recently, are expected to appear in his place.
It should be noted that Bellingham also came on as a substitute in the last round's match against Mallorca, but could not prevent his team from losing 1:2. The club management is in a panic due to the star player, who costs more than 100 million euros (200 million AZN), "getting lost" within the system.
