How many games will Bellingham be out for?

Bellingham played 87 minutes in Madrid’s 1-1 draw against Mallorca before being substituted for Turkey’s Arda Guler.

The injury is expected to keep Bellingham out of England’s upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against the Republic of Ireland on September 7 and Finland on September 10.

Madrid will continue their La Liga title defense with a match against Real Valladolid on Sunday and also have games against Las Palmas and Real Betis before the international break.

In a press conference earlier on Friday, Ancelotti noted: "[Bellingham] got a knock. We’re evaluating it."

Since his £89 million ($117m) transfer from Borussia Dortmund last summer, Bellingham has become a crucial figure for Real Madrid.

He scored 19 goals and provided six assists in La Liga, helping Madrid secure their 36th league title and earning the La Liga Player of the Season award. Additionally, he made nine goal contributions in Europe as Madrid won their 15th Champions League title
