England midfielder Jude Bellingham was ruled out of Real Madrid’s LaLiga clash against Valencia with a shoulder injury.<\/p>\n
The in-form 20-year-old, who has scored 13 goals in 14 Real appearances since his \u00a388.5million summer switch from Borussia Dortmund, suffered a dislocated shoulder during last Sunday’s 0-0 draw with Rayo Vallecano.<\/p>\n
Bellingham was this week included in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia.<\/p>\n
A Real Madrid statement issued on Saturday said: ‘After the tests carried out today on our player Jude Bellingham, he has been diagnosed with anterior instability of his left shoulder, a consequence of his recent dislocation.<\/p>\n
‘Bellingham is out for today’s match against Valencia.’<\/p>\n

Bellingham was named among the substitutes for Wednesday night’s 3-0 Champions League win over Portuguese side Braga, but manager Carlo Ancelotti did not use him as his side cruised to victory.<\/p>\n
The superstar went down inside the first half of the stalemate with Vallecano after clutching his shoulder but was able to complete the full 90 minutes.<\/p>\n
He was spotted with heavy strapping after the game.<\/p>\n
Ancelotti looked to play down concerns over the issue, however, and even admitted he expected Bellingham to feature against Valencia.<\/p>\n
‘We’re looking at what happens,’ Ancelotti said at his pre-match press conference.<\/p>\n
‘The player feels good, he trained normally and he’s available.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Provided nothing odd happens in the coming hours, I think he’ll play.’<\/p>\n
Bellingham has enjoyed a scintillating start to life in Madrid and his 10 goals put him top of the LaLiga scoring charts, three clear of Girona’s Artem Dovbyk.<\/p>\n
He was recently announced as the winner of this year’s Kopa Trophy at the Ballon d’Or ceremony and named Madrid’s player of the month for the third straight month.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bellingham will hope to return to full fitness ahead of England’s home game against Malta<\/p>\n
