Jude Bellingham scored a penalty and assisted Kylian Mbappe’s goal within eight minutes of each other, as Real Madrid defeated Getafe 2-0.

However, Bellingham was subbed off at half-time.

Bellingham had felt dizzy after a clash with the Getafe goalkeeper, leading to the change at half-time.

Bellingham had to be replaced as a precaution after a collision with the Getafe goalkeeper David Soria towards the end of the first half.

After the game, Carlo Ancelotti gave an update, revealing that Bellingham had a neck issue but should recover in a couple of days.

According to The Athletic’s Guillermo Rai, there’s no major injury concern, as the substitution was a precaution.

Jude Bellingham is expected to be available for Real Madrid’s upcoming match against Athletic Bilbao next week.
