There is concern within Real Madrid regarding Jude Bellingham, with many officials harboring doubts about the England international’s return to his former form in the near future.
Bellingham missed two and a half months of action for Real Madrid due to shoulder surgery. He made a swift return ahead of schedule, amid intense enthusiasm from the player to regain his starting position at the Santiago Bernabéu.
According to AS, Bellingham’s poor performances, particularly in the match against Atlético Madrid, raise many questions about whether he will be able to regain his two-year-old form or continue the downward trend that has been ongoing since last season.
The primary reason for the 22-year-old’s decline last season was his need for shoulder surgery and his ability to play despite pain. Now that the crisis has been resolved, Bellingham is still far from a level that would qualify him for a starting role with coach Xabi Alonso’s squad.
Real Madrid officials hope Bellingham improves soon, otherwise his continued participation with the team will be questionable, and his future in the Spanish capital will be at stake.
The coming months are expected to be decisive for Bellingham’s future with Real Madrid. The club’s management usually renews the contracts of stars well before their expiration. However, his continued poor form could ultimately lead to a decision, which would not be surprising, to sever ties with him and allow him to return to England.
