Bellingham missed the win over Valencia last month with a shoulder issue and has only finished half of the La Liga games he’s played since returning. Ancelotti bought him off with 12 minutes remaining at the weekend – a comfortable home win over Villarreal – and confessed he’s simply trying to prevent a long-term lay off.informationguidenigeria

The Italian said: “Bellingham has been the protagonist because he has played very well and fought at all times. I have removed him to avoid problems. He has had a problem with his shoulder and when I can take minutes away from him, I’m going to do it.”informationguidenigeria

Such an issue could leave the 20-year-old requiring surgery later in the season, which would be an issue for Los Blancos given how Bellingham has become their talisman and main threat in front of goal. He’s already scored 13 times in the league, including a brace to win El Clasico earlier this term.JAMB Portal
