"The club is a bit more defensive on the outlook regarding the weeks of his recovery. Jude is pushing, and as we know him, he is determined and super professional. He will try everything to be with us in March. Of course we are in contact, that is a normal thing to do, and we wish him all the best. Whatever we can do for him, we will help and support him. It is a little race against time."
"The 22-year-old Real midfielder damaged his hamstring against Rayo Vallecano earlier this month but was only expected to miss around four weeks. It is now thought he will miss longer, with a new potential recovery timescale of six to eight weeks. If those concerns are realised, Bellingham will not have much time to prove his fitness for England's home friendlies against Uruguay and Japan at Wembley at the end of March."
"If Bellingham, who has 46 England caps, fails to prove his fitness, the news will arrive as an obvious blow to Tuchel. The former Borussia Dortmund midfielder's position in the squad has been the subject of conjecture in recent months, with Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers often starting in the number 10 role. Nevertheless, Bellingham is still viewed as a key player for England heading into this summer's World Cup, with Tuchel set to name his squad in May."
Jude Bellingham damaged his hamstring against Rayo Vallecano earlier this month and was initially expected to miss around four weeks. The recovery is now thought to be longer, with a new potential timescale of six to eight weeks. England manager Thomas Tuchel reported that the club was more cautious about the outlook and said Bellingham was pushing to return, calling him determined and professional. Tuchel said he was personally optimistic but not sure. A longer lay-off would reduce Bellingham's time to prove fitness for England's home friendlies against Uruguay and Japan and could affect World Cup squad decisions.
