Accordingly, Bellingham suffered a sprained ankle. He will have to miss 2-3 weeks. 

Thus, Bellingham will not be able to participate in the first leg of the 1/8 round of the Champions League in the middle of next week with Leipzig. Real Madrid hopes that the 2003-born midfielder can recover in the return match in early March.

Coach Ancelotti had to use a patchwork pair of central defenders Tchouameni and Carvajal in the recent confrontation with Girona.
