Real Madrid’s new signing Jude Bellingham officially opened his chapter with the club on Monday with his medical examination and first training session. He was declared fit and completed the first session with no problems, displaying a high level.

However, the Englishman did not join the group for training on Tuesday. He spent the day doing specific work on the sidelines, in order to avoid risking exacerbating his previous injury.

According to reports from MARCA, Bellingham was back in full training in today’s session. He was back to showing his skills on the ball and completed the hectic workout that included pressure and circulation exercises, offensive transitions, attack-defence transitions, and regular runs.

His exclusion yesterday was out of caution as opposed to consequence. Los Blancos do not want to risk a relapse with Bellingham’s knee injury that kept him out towards the end of last season, and thus choose to give him a gradual incorporation.

If everything goes to plan, he will be available to debut against AC Milan at the beginning of the USA preseason tour. However, it could be delayed until the Clasico if Real Madrid continues to err on the side of caution.

Los Blancos signed the wonder-kid from Borussia Dortmund last month in a deal worth €103 million plus add-ons. The manager eyes Bellingham to be a fundamental cog in his plans for next season and the reluctance to push him too far, too fast is understandable.

Nevertheless, the English star has already been making waves with his quality in training. He has made an impression on his teammates and Ancelotti with his abilities and is raring to go in the coming opportunities. After all, a move to Real Madrid has always been his biggest dream.
