MADRID — Jude Bellingham has sustained a right-leg muscle injury, Real Madrid said Friday.

Madrid did not say how many games the England midfielder would miss but media reports said he could be out for up to a month.

“He took a knock and we’re assessing him,” Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti said Friday.

Madrid hosts Valladolid on Sunday aiming to bounce back from its 1-1 draw at Mallorca in the opening round of the Spanish league.
